The rotational and magnetic properties of Polaris from long-term spectropolarimetric monitoring

James A. Barron, Gregg A. Wade, Colin P. Folsom

Polaris is a highly unusual Cepheid with observed properties that are difficult to reconcile with stellar evolutionary models. Since the initial detection of Polaris' magnetic fiel…

Monitoring the large-scale magnetic field of AD~Leo with SPIRou, ESPaDOnS and Narval. Toward a magnetic polarity reversal?

S. Bellotti, J. Morin, L. T. Lehmann +23

One manifestation of dynamo action on the Sun is the 22-yr magnetic cycle, exhibiting a polarity reversal and a periodic conversion between poloidal and toroidal fields. For M dwar…
