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…
Discovery of two magnetic massive stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster: a clue to the origin of neutron star magnetic fields?
V. Petit, G. A. Wade, L. Drissen +2
The origin of the magnetic fields in neutron stars, and the physical differences between magnetars and strongly magnetised radio pulsars are still under vigorous debate. It has bee…
Million-Degree Plasma Pervading the Extended Orion Nebula
M. Guedel, K. R. Briggs, T. Montmerle +3
Most stars form as members of large associations within dense, very cold (10-100 K) molecular clouds. The nearby giant molecular cloud in Orion hosts several thousand stars of ages…
Accretion and Outflow-Related X-Rays in T Tauri Stars
M. Guedel, K. Briggs, K. Arzner +22
We report on accretion- and outflow-related X-rays from T Tauri stars, based on results from the "XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus Molecular Cloud." X-rays potentially form…
X-rays from young stars - a summary of highlights from the XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (XEST)
M. Guedel
The XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (XEST) is a survey of the nearest large star-forming region, the Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC), making use of all instru…
Exploring the origin of neutron star magnetic field: magnetic properties of the progenitor OB stars
V. Petit, G. A. Wade, L. Drissen +1
Ferrario & Wickramasinghe (2006) explored the hypothesis that the magnetic fields of neutron stars are of fossil origin. In this context, they predicted the field distribution of t…
