Weak magnetic fields of intermediate-mass stars
P. Petit, F. Lignières, G. A. Wade +4
We present the result of a highly sensitive spectropolarimetric study dedicated to intermediate mass stars. We report the detection of sub-gauss surface magnetic fields on the norm…

Long-term magnetic field stability of Vega
D. Alina, P. Petit, F. Lignières +5
We present new spectropolarimetric observations of the normal A-type star Vega, obtained during the summer of 2010 with NARVAL at Télescope Bernard Lyot (Pic du Midi Observatory).…

Detection of a weak surface magnetic field on Sirius A: are all tepid stars magnetic ?
P. Petit, F. Lignières, M. Aurière +8
We aim at a highly sensitive search for weak magnetic fields in main sequence stars of intermediate mass, by scanning classes of stars with no previously reported magnetic members.…
