The magnetic and spin-down properties of slowly rotating fully convective M dwarfs

Victor See, Louis Amard, Stefano Bellotti +19

The evolution of the magnetism, winds and rotation of low-mass stars are all linked. One of the most common ways to probe the magnetic properties of low-mass stars is with the Zeem…

Do non-dipolar magnetic fields contribute to spin-down torques?

Victor See, Sean P. Matt, Adam J. Finley +14

Main sequence low-mass stars are known to spin-down as a consequence of their magnetised stellar winds. However, estimating the precise rate of this spin-down is an open problem. T…

Estimating magnetic filling factors from Zeeman-Doppler magnetograms

Victor See, Sean P. Matt, Colin P. Folsom +15

Low-mass stars are known to have magnetic fields that are believed to be of dynamo origin. Two complementary techniques are principally used to characterise them. Zeeman-Doppler im…

Studying stellar spin-down with Zeeman-Doppler magnetograms

V. See, M. Jardine, A. A. Vidotto +11

Magnetic activity and rotation are known to be intimately linked for low-mass stars. Understanding rotation evolution over the stellar lifetime is therefore an important goal withi…

Magnetic fields on young, moderately rotating Sun-like stars II. EK Draconis (HD 129333)

Ian Waite, Stephen Marsden, Brad Carter +6

The magnetic fields, activity and dynamos of young solar-type stars can be empirically studied using time-series of spectropolarimetric observations and tomographic imaging techniq…

The connection between stellar activity cycles and magnetic field topology

V. See, M. Jardine, A. A. Vidotto +14

Zeeman Doppler imaging has successfully mapped the large-scale magnetic fields of stars over a large range of spectral types, rotation periods and ages. When observed over multiple…

The energy budget of stellar magnetic fields

V. See, M. Jardine, A. A. Vidotto +15

Spectropolarimetric observations have been used to map stellar magnetic fields, many of which display strong bands of azimuthal fields that are toroidal. A number of explanations h…

Magnetic fields on young, moderately rotating Sun-like stars - I: HD~35296 and HD~29615

Ian Waite, Stephen Marsden, Bradley Carter +4

Observations of the magnetic fields of young solar-type stars provide a way to investigate the signatures of their magnetic activity and dynamos. Spectropolarimetry enables the stu…

Doppler images and the underlying dynamo. The case of AF Leporis

S. P. Järvinen, R. Arlt, T. Hackman +6

The (Zeeman-)Doppler imaging studies of solar-type stars very often reveal large high-latitude spots. This also includes F stars that possess relatively shallow convection zones, i…

Stellar magnetism: empirical trends with age and rotation

A. A. Vidotto, S. G. Gregory, M. Jardine +12

We investigate how the observed large-scale surface magnetic fields of low-mass stars (~0.1 -- 2 Msun), reconstructed through Zeeman-Doppler imaging (ZDI), vary with age t, rotatio…

Starspots on Young Solar-Type Stars

Carolyn Brown, Brad Carter, Stephen Marsden +1

Doppler Imaging of starspots on young solar analogues is a way to investigate the early history of solar magnetic activity by proxy. Doppler images of young G-dwarfs have yielded t…

A high-resolution spectropolarimetric survey of Herbig Ae/Be stars - I. Observations and measurements

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

This is the first in a series of papers in which we describe and report the analysis of a large survey of Herbig Ae/Be stars in circular spectropolarimetry. Using the ESPaDOnS and…

Discovery of a magnetic field in the early B-type star sigma Lupi

H. F. Henrichs, K. Kolenberg, B. Plaggenborg +7

Magnetic early B-type stars are rare. To identify them, we use the strongest indirect indicator of a magnetic field in B stars, which is periodic variability of UV stellar wind lin…

Chemical abundances of magnetic and non-magnetic Herbig Ae/Be stars

C. P. Folsom, S. Bagnulo, G. A. Wade +4

The photospheres of about 10-20% of main sequence A- and B-type stars exhibit a wide range of chemical peculiarities, often associated with the presence of a magnetic field. It is…

High Resolution Spectroscopy and Spectropolarimetry of some late F-/early G-type sun-like stars as targets for Zeeman Doppler imaging

Ian Waite, Stephen Marsden, Brad Carter +4

High resolution spectroscopy and spectropolarimetry have been undertaken at the Anglo-Australian Telescope in order to identify suitable targets for magnetic studies of young sun-l…
