Magnetic fields, winds and X-rays of massive stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster
V. Petit, G. A. Wade, L. Drissen +2
In massive stars, magnetic fields are thought to confine the outflowing radiatively-driven wind, resulting in X-ray emission that is harder, more variable and more efficient than t…
Long-term monitoring of theta1 OriC: the spectroscopic orbit and an improved rotational period
O. Stahl, G. Wade, V. Petit +2
The young O-type star theta1 OriC, the brightest star of the Trapezium cluster in Orion, is one of only two known magnetic rotators among the O stars. However, not all spectroscopi…
Searching for links between magnetic fields and stellar evolution III. Measurement of magnetic fields in open cluster Ap stars with ESPaDOnS
J. D. Landstreet, J. Silaj, V. Andretta +7
We are carrying out a survey of magnetic fields in Ap stars in open clusters in order to obtain the first sample of magnetic upper main sequence stars with precisely known ages. Th…
Magnetism in Herbig Ae/Be stars and the link to the Ap/Bp stars
E. Alecian, C. Catala, G. A. Wade +11
Among the A/B stars, about 5% host large-scale organised magnetic fields. These magnetic stars show also abundance anomalies in their spectra, and are therefore called the magnetic…
Discovery of magnetic fields in the very young, massive stars W601 (NGC 6611) and OI 201 (NGC 2244)
E. Alecian, G. A. Wade, C. Catala +8
Context: Recent spectropolarimetric observations of Herbig Ae/Be stars have yielded new arguments in favour of a fossil origin for the magnetic fields of intermediate mass stars. A…
