$\xi^1$ CMa is a monoperiodically pulsating, magnetic $\beta$ Cep star with magnetospheric X-ray emission which, uniquely amongst magnetic stars, is clearly modulated with the star's pulsation period. The rotational period $P_{\rm rot}$ has…
We report the latest set of spectropolarimetric observations of the magnetic $\beta$ Cep star $\xi^1$ CMa. The new observations confirm the long-period model of Shultz et al.\ (2017), who proposed a rotational period of about 30 years and…
The magnetic beta Cep pulsator xi^1 CMa has the longest rotational period of any known magnetic B-type star. It is also the only magnetic B-type star with magnetospheric emission that is known to be modulated by both rotation and pulsation.…
$\xi^{1}$ CMa is a known magnetic star showing rotationally modulated magnetic variability with a period of 2.17937 d. However, recent work based on high-resolution spectropolarimetry suggests that the rotation period is longer than 30…
We report BRITE-Constellation photometry of the beta Cep pulsator xi 1 CMa. Analysis of these data reveals a single pulsation period of 0.2095781(3) d, along with its first and second harmonics. We find no evidence for any other…
Within the context of the "B fields in OB stars (BOB)" collaboration, we used the HARPSpol spectropolarimeter to observe the early B-type stars beta CMa (HD44743; B1 II/III) and epsilon CMa (HD52089; B1.5 II). For both stars, we…
Recent BRITE-Constellation space photometry of the slowly rotating, magnetic $\beta$ Cep pulsator $\xi^1$ CMa permits a new analysis of its pulsation properties. Analysis of the two-colour BRITE data reveals the well-known single pulsation…
We report recent observations of the sharp-lined magnetic beta Cep pulsator xi 1 CMa (= HD 46328). The longitudinal magnetic field of this star is detected consistently, but it is not observed to vary strongly, during nearly 5 years of…
Although the star itself is not He enriched, the periodicity and the variability in the UV wind lines of the pulsating B1 IV star beta Cep are similar to what is observed in magnetic He-peculiar B stars, suggesting that beta Cep is…
The O8f?p star HD 108 is implied to have experienced the most extreme rotational braking of any magnetic, massive star, with a rotational period $P_{\rm rot}$ of at least 55 years, but the upper limit on its spindown timescale is over twice…
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 results of a magnetic survey of a sample of eight beta Cephei stars and 26 Slowly Pulsating B stars with FORS1 at the VLT. A weak mean longitudinal magnetic field of the order of a few hundred Gauss is detected in the beta…
We present new U-band photometry of the magnetic Helium-strong star Sigma Ori E, obtained over 2004-2009 using the SMARTS 0.9-m telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. When combined with historical measurements, these data…
Using the ssrAp star 33 Lib (HD137949) as an example, we show that magnetic braking caused by the interaction of a strong magnetic field with a stellar wind can play a key role in slowing the rotation of ssrAp stars. Numerical modeling of…
The ultraviolet stellar wind lines of the photometrically periodic variable early B-type star sigma Lupi were found to behave very similarly to what has been observed in known magnetic B stars, although no periodicity could be determined.…
We analyze all X-ray timing data on 1E 1207.4-5209 in supernova remnant PKS 1209-51/52 gathered in 2000-2005, and find a highly stable rotation with P=424.130451(4) ms and period derivative of (9.6 +/- 9.4)E-17 s/s. This refutes previous…
We use axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic simulations to investigate the spinning-down of magnetars rotating in the propeller regime and moving supersonically through the interstellar medium. The simulations indicate that magnetars spin-down…
We obtained thirteen spectropolarimetric observations of the strongly magnetic rapidly oscillating Ap star HD154708 over three months with the multi-mode instrument FORS1, installed at the 8-m Kueyen telescope of the VLT. These observations…
This paper presents a series of 95 new measurements of the longitudinal (effective) magnetic field $B_e$ of the Ap star $\gamma$ Equ (HD 201601). Observations were obtained at the coud\'e focus of the 1-m reflector at the Special…
In our search for new magnetic massive stars we use the strongest indirect indicator of a magnetic field in B stars, which is periodic variability of UV stellar wind lines occurring in a velocity range symmetric around zero. Our aim is to…
