Characterisation of the magnetic field of the Herbig Be star HD 200775
E. Alecian, C. Catala, G. A. Wade +9
After our recent discovery of four magnetic Herbig stars, we have decided to study in detail one of them, HD 200775, to determine if its magnetic topology is similar to that of the…
How non-magnetic are "non-magnetic" Herbig Ae/Be stars?
G. A. Wade, E. Alecian, C. Catala +9
Our recent discovery of magnetic fields in a small number of Herbig Ae/Be stars has required that we survey a much larger sample of stars. From our FORS1 and ESPaDOnS surveys, we h…
Magnetism in pre-MS intermediate-mass stars and the fossil field hypothesis
E. Alecian, G. A. Wade, C. Catala +11
Today, one of the greatest challenges concerning the Ap/Bp stars is to understand the origin of their slow rotation and their magnetic fields. The favoured hypothesis for the latte…
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…
Magnetism, rotation and accretion in Herbig Ae-Be stars
E. Alecian, G. A. Wade, C. Catala +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…
