The Gaia satellite: a tool for Emission Line Stars and Hot Stars
Christophe Martayan, Yves Fremat, Ronny Blomme +19
The Gaia satellite will be launched at the end of 2011. It will observe at least 1 billion stars, and among them several million emission line stars and hot stars. Gaia will provid…
Magnetic topologies of the Herbig Ae/Be stars
E. Alecian, G. A. Wade, C. Catala +9
Our recent discoveries of magnetic fields in a small number of Herbig Ae/Be (HAeBe) stars, the evolutionary progenitors of main sequence A/B stars, raise new questions about the or…
Magnetism and rotation in Herbig Ae/Be stars
E. Alecian, G. A. Wade, C. Catala +8
Among the main sequence intermediate mass A and B stars, around 5% host large-scale organized magnetic fields. Most of these stars are very slow rotators compared to their non-magn…
Magnetic fields in Herbig Ae/Be stars
G. A. Wade, C. Catala, E. Alecian +7
Studies of stellar magnetism at the pre-main sequence phase can provide important new insights into the detailed physics of the late stages of star formation, and into the observed…
Investigating the pre-main sequence magnetic chemically peculiar system HD 72106
C. P. Folsom, G. A. Wade, D. A. Hanes +7
The origin of the strong magnetic fields observed in chemically peculiar Ap and Bp stars stars has long been debated. The recent discovery of magnetic fields in the intermediate ma…
Characterisation of the magnetic fields of the Herbig Be stars HD 200775 and V380 0ri
E. Alecian, G. A. Wade, C. Catala +7
The origin of the magnetic fields of the chemically peculiar main sequence Ap/Bp stars is still matter of intense debate. The recent discoveries of magnetic fields in Herbig Ae/Be…
