Envelope Convection, Surface Magnetism and Spots in A- and late B-type Stars

Matteo Cantiello, Jonathan Braithwaite

Weak magnetic fields have recently been detected in a number of A-type stars, including Vega and Sirius. At the same time, space photometry observations of A- and late B-type stars…

The MiMeS Survey of Magnetism in Massive Stars: Introduction and overview

G. A. Wade, C. Neiner, E. Alecian +47

The MiMeS project is a large-scale, high resolution, sensitive spectropolarimetric investigation of the magnetic properties of O and early B type stars. Initiated in 2008 and compl…

Magnetic fields in non-convective regions of stars

J. Braithwaite, H. C. Spruit

We review the current state of knowledge of magnetic fields inside stars, concentrating on recent developments concerning magnetic fields in stably stratified (zones of) stars, lea…

Fast and slow magnetic deflagration fronts in Type I X-ray bursts

Yuri Cavecchi, Yuri Levin, Anna L. Watts +1

Type I X-ray bursts are produced by thermonuclear runaways that develop on accreting neutron stars. Once one location ignites, the flame propagates across the surface of the star.…

From pulsar scintillations to coronal heating: discontinuities in magnetohydrodynamics

Jonathan Braithwaite

From pulsar scintillations we infer the presence of sheet-like structures in the ISM; it has been suggested that these are current sheets. Current sheets probably play an important…

Stability of toroidal magnetic fields in stellar interiors

Juan C. Ibañez-Mejia, Jonathan Braithwaite

We present 3D MHD simulations of purely toroidal and mixed poloidal-toroidal magnetic field configurations to study the behavior of the Tayler instability. For the first time the s…
