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…
Why are some A stars magnetic, while most are not?
G. A. Wade, J. Silvester, K. Bale +21
A small fraction of intermediate-mass main sequence (A and B type) stars have strong, organised magnetic fields. The large majority of such stars, however, show no evidence for mag…
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…
Rotation and chemical abundances of Ap/Bp stars in the open cluster NGC 6475
C. P. Folsom, G. A. Wade, S. Bagnulo +1
The connection between age, rotation and chemical abundance of magnetic Ap stars is poorly understood. Using open clusters, we are able to study samples of stars that are both co-e…
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…
