Dimming and pulsation shock of the coalesced star V838 Monocerotis

T. Kamiński, C. E. Woodward, T. Liimets +3

V838 Mon is the remnant of a stellar merger that occurred in 2002. Twenty-four years after the merger, the remnant closely resembles a red supergiant, but its luminosity is sustain…

Detection of a large-scale organized 2 kG order magnetic field in the Herbig Ae star HD179218

S. P. Järvinen, S. Hubrig, M. Schöller +5

While about two dozen Herbig Ae/Be stars have been reported to be magnetic, only two of them, HD101412 and HD190073, have had their magnetic field geometries studied in the past. T…

Anti-Solar Differential Rotation May Have Revived Magnetic Braking in the Subgiant 31 Aquilae

Travis S. Metcalfe, Jennifer L. van Saders, Thomas R. Ayres +16

Recent observations have shown that sufficiently slow rotation disrupts the organization of large-scale magnetic field in older main-sequence stars, leading to weakened magnetic br…

Magnetic field detections in massive systems at different stages of interaction

S. Hubrig, M. Abdul-Masih, S. P. Jarvinen +4

Despite the importance of magnetic fields in massive stars, their origin is widely debated and still not well understood. With the mounting evidence for the importance of studying…

The incidence of magnetism in blue and yellow straggler stars

S. Hubrig, S. P. Järvinen, I. Ilyin +1

Our understanding of the generation of magnetic fields in intermediate-mass and massive OBA stars remains limited. Some theories have proposed that their magnetic fields could be a…

A magnetic tertiary in the most massive compact triple-star system

S. Hubrig, A. Vigna-Gómez, S. P. Järvinen +2

The system TIC 470710327 is comprised of three main-sequence OB stars, with an inner compact 1.10 d eclipsing binary and a non-eclipsing tertiary on a 52.04 d orbit. With the terti…

The enigmatic magnetic field of the planet hosting Herbig Ae/Be star HD169142

S. Hubrig, S. P. Jarvinen, I. Ilyin +1

Recent observations of the accretion disk around the Herbig Ae/Be star HD169142 revealed its complex and asymmetric morphology indicating the presence of planets. The knowledge of…

First snapshot of a magnetosphere around a Herbig Ae/Be star

S. P. Järvinen, S. Hubrig, M. Küker +6

The Herbig Ae/Be star HD190073 is one of the very few magnetic Herbig Ae/Be stars for which close low-mass companions have been reported. Previously published magnetic field measur…

Magnetic massive stars: confirming the merger scenario for the magnetic field generation

Swetlana Hubrig, Markus Schöller, Silva P. Järvinen +4

Magnetic fields are considered to be key components of massive stars, with a far-reaching impact on their evolution and ultimate fate. A magnetic mechanism was suggested for the co…

Extreme Magnetic Field Modulus Variability of the Bp star HD 57372

S. Hubrig, S. D. Chojnowski, S. P. Jarvinen +2

Context. In chemically peculiar Ap/Bp stars with large-scale organised magnetic fields with a simple centred dipole configuration, the ratio between the maximum and the minimum of…

Characterizing the dynamical magnetosphere of the extremely slowly rotating magnetic O9.7 V star HD 54879 using rotational modulation of the H profile

Manfred Küker, Silva Järvinen, Swetlana Hubrig +2

The magnetic field in the O9.7 V star HD54879 has been monitored for almost a decade. Spectropolarimetric observations reveal a rather strong mean longitudinal magnetic field that…

Testing pulsation diagnostics in the rapidly oscillating magnetic Ap star Equ using near-infrared CRIRES+ observations

S. P. Järvinen, S. Hubrig, B. Wolff +5

Pulsations of rapidly oscillating Ap stars and their interaction with the stellar magnetic field have not been studied in the near-IR region despite the benefits these observations…

Detection of weak magnetic fields in two HgMn stars

S. Hubrig, S. P. Jarvinen, H. Korhonen +4

The main-sequence mercury-manganese (HgMn) stars are known to exhibit large overabundances of exotic elements and, similar to magnetic Ap/Bp stars, are spectrum variables, implying…

A magnetic study of the Scuti variable HD 21190 and the close solar-type background star CPD -83 64B

S. P. Järvinen, S. Hubrig, R. -D. Scholz +3

HD 21190 is a known Scuti star showing Ap star characteristics and a variability period of 3.6 h discovered by the Hipparcos mission. Using Gaia DR1 data for an astrometric ana…
