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…
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…
Instability of Magnetic Equilibria in Barotropic Stars
J. P. Mitchell, J. Braithwaite, A. Reisenegger +3
In stably stratified stars, numerical magneto-hydrodynamics simulations have shown that arbitrary initial magnetic fields evolve into stable equilibrium configurations, usually con…
Burn Out or Fade Away? On the X-ray and Magnetic Death of Intermediate Mass Stars
Jeremy J. Drake, Jonathan Braithwaite, Vinay Kashyap +2
The nature of the mechanisms apparently driving X-rays from intermediate mass stars lacking strong convection zones or massive winds remains poorly understood, and the possible rol…
