New Insights from Revisiting the Rotation Period of the Strongly Magnetic O Star, NGC 1624-2

S. Seadrow, V. Petit, G. A. Wade +5

NGC 1624-2 hosts the strongest surface magnetic field found on an O star thus far. When applied across several epochs of observations, the star's currently accepted rotation period…

Magnetic field monitoring of four massive A-F supergiants

Gregg Wade, Mary Oksala, Coralie Neiner +2

We report magnetic field measurements spanning about 15 years of four massive () supergiant stars: Per (HD\,20902, F5Iab), Lep (HD\,36673A, F0Ib), Leo (…

SpecpolFlow: a new software package for spectropolarimetry using Python

Colin P. Folsom, Christiana Erba, Veronique Petit +8

Spectropolarimetry, the observation of polarization and intensity as a function of wavelength, is a powerful tool in stellar astrophysics. It is particularly useful for characteriz…

Stellar Magnetism

Veronique Petit, Mary E. Oksala

Stellar Magnetism affects all spectral types and exists and varies throughout the evolution of stars. Magnetic fields can affect not only the interior of stars, but also their circ…

Ultraviolet Spectropolarimetry With Polstar: Using Polstar to test Magnetospheric Mass-loss Quenching

M. E. Shultz, R. Casini, M. C. M. Cheung +17

Polstar is a proposed NASA MIDEX space telescope that will provide high-resolution, simultaneous full-Stokes spectropolarimetry in the far ultraviolet, together with low-resolution…

Photometric signatures of corotating magnetospheres of hot stars governed by higher-order magnetic multipoles

J. Krticka, Z. Mikulasek, P. Kurfurst +1

The light curves of magnetic, chemically peculiar stars typically show periodic variability due to surface spots that in most cases can be modeled by low-order harmonic expansion.…
