The spectral and magnetic properties and variability of the B2Vnp emission-line magnetosphere star HR7355 were analyzed. The object rotates at almost 90% of the critical value, meaning it is a magnetic star for which oblateness and gravity…
We used electron spin resonance (ESR) combined with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to measure hydrogenated Ti (spin-1/2) atoms at low-symmetry binding sites on MgO in vector magnetic fields. We found strongly anisotropic g-values in…
We present a semi-analytical approach for modeling circumstellar emission from rotating hot stars with a strong dipole magnetic field tilted at an arbitrary angle to the rotation axis. By assuming the rigid-field limit in which material…
Sigma Ori E, a massive helium B-type star, shows a high surface rotation and a strong surface magnetic field potentially challenging the process of wind magnetic braking. The Gaia satellite provides an accurate distance to that star and…
Plaskett's "star" appears to be one of a small number of short-period binary systems known to contain a hot, massive, magnetic star. Building on the 2013 discovery investigation, we combine an extensive spectropolarimetric (Stokes $V$)…
With this work, we have conducted an extensive search for magnetic fields in the photosphere of $\alpha$~And. We have acquired new circular polarisation spectra with the MuSiCoS and ESPaDOnS sp ectropolarimeters. We have also obtained FORS1…
Recent XMM-Newton observations of the B2 type star rho Oph A indicated a periodicity of 1.205d, which was ascribed to rotational modulation. Since variability of X-ray emission in massive stars is frequently the signature of a magnetic…
Building on results from the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) project, this paper shows how a two-parameter classification of massive-star magnetospheres in terms of the magnetic wind confinement (which sets the Alfv\'en radius RA) and…
For a newly discovered iron-based high T_c superconducting parent material KFe2Se2, we present an effective three-dimensional five-orbital tight-binding model by fitting the band structures. The three t2g-symmetry orbitals of the five Fe 3d…
The rotational and magnetic properties of many magnetic hot stars are poorly characterized, therefore the MiMeS and BinaMIcS collaborations have collected extensive high-dispersion spectropolarimetric datasets of these targets. We present…
We present the analysis performed on spectropolarimetric data of 97 O-type targets included in the framework of the MiMeS (Magnetism in Massive Stars) Survey. Mean Least-Squares Deconvolved Stokes I and V line profiles were extracted for…
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 lines occurring symmetric about the approximate rest…
The recently discovered spectroscopic binary $\rho$ Oph A is a rare magnetic hot binary system composed of two early B-type stars, comprising a non-magnetic primary (Aa) and a slightly less massive magnetic secondary (Ab). Using near-IR…
A low-energy magnetic dipole $(M1)$ spin-scissors resonance (SSR) located just below the ordinary orbital scissors resonance (OSR) was recently predicted in deformed nuclei within the Wigner Function Moments (WFM) approach. We analyze this…
We report time-resolved, high-resolution optical spectropolarimetric observations of the young double-lined spectroscopic binary V1878 Ori. Our observations were collected with the ESPaDOnS spectropolarimeter at the Canada-France-Hawaii…
We present the first fully 3D MHD simulation for magnetic channeling and confinement of a radiatively driven, massive-star wind. The specific parameters are chosen to represent the prototypical slowly rotating magnetic O star \theta^1 Ori…
Magnetic confinement of stellar winds leads to the formation of magnetospheres, which can be sculpted into Centrifugal Magnetospheres (CMs) by rotational support of the corotating plasma. The conditions required for the CMs of magnetic…
Several arguments have been presented that favour a scenario in which the low detection rate of magnetic fields in Herbig Ae stars can be explained by the weakness of these fields and rather large measurement uncertainties.…
The current article investigated the band structure in the presence and absence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC), examined the Z2 invariants, and investigated the detailed angle-dependent magneto-transport of up to 10 T (Tesla) and down to 2 K…
We present results from three weeks' photometric monitoring of the magnetic helium-strong star sigma Ori E using the MOST microsatellite. The star's light curve is dominated by twice-per-rotation eclipse-like dimmings arising when…
