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…
