Magnetic fields, winds and X-rays of massive stars: A spectropolarimetric survey of the Orion 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…

Magnetic topologies of the Herbig Ae/Be stars

E. Alecian, G. A. Wade, C. Catala +9

Our recent discoveries of magnetic fields in a small number of Herbig Ae/Be (HAeBe) stars, the evolutionary progenitors of main sequence A/B stars, raise new questions about the or…

Why are some A stars magnetic, while most are not?

G. A. Wade, J. Silvester, K. Bale +21

A small fraction of intermediate-mass main sequence (A and B type) stars have strong, organised magnetic fields. The large majority of such stars, however, show no evidence for mag…

Magnetic Doppler Imaging of Ap stars

J. Silvester, G. A. Wade, O. Kochukhov +2

Historically, the magnetic field geometries of the chemically peculiar Ap stars were modelled in the context of a simple dipole field. However, with the acquisition of increasingly…

Magnetism and rotation in Herbig Ae/Be stars

E. Alecian, G. A. Wade, C. Catala +8

Among the main sequence intermediate mass A and B stars, around 5% host large-scale organized magnetic fields. Most of these stars are very slow rotators compared to their non-magn…

Magnetic fields in Herbig Ae/Be stars

G. A. Wade, C. Catala, E. Alecian +7

Studies of stellar magnetism at the pre-main sequence phase can provide important new insights into the detailed physics of the late stages of star formation, and into the observed…
