We have obtained 18 new high-resolution spectropolarimetric observations of the B2Vp star sigma Ori E with both the Narval and ESPaDOnS spectropolarimeters. The aim of these observations is to test, with modern data, the assumptions of the…
This paper presents results obtained from Stokes I and V spectra of the B2Vp star sigma Ori E, observed by both the Narval and ESPaDOnS spectropolarimeters. Using Least- Squares Deconvolution, we investigate the longitudinal magnetic field…
Sigma Ori E (HD 37479) is the prototypical helium-strong star shown to harbor a strong magnetic field, as well as a magnetosphere consisting of two clouds of plasma. The observed optical (ubvy) light curve of sigma Ori E is dominated by…
We attempt to characterize the observed variability of the magnetic helium-strong star sigma Ori E in terms of a recently developed rigidly rotating magnetosphere model. This model predicts the accumulation of circumstellar plasma in two…
I review the basic concepts of the Rigidly Rotating Magnetosphere model for the circumstellar plasma distribution around the helium-strong star sigma Ori E. I demonstrate that the model can furnish a good fit to the photometric,…
The photometric variations due to magnetically confined material around He-strong stars are investigated within the framework of the Rigidly Rotating Magnetosphere (RRM) model. For dipole field topologies, the model is used to explore how…
In this paper, we investigate the photometric variability of magnetic O-type stars. Such stars possess oblique, predominantly dipolar magnetic fields that confine their winds roughly axisymmetrically about the magnetic equator, thus forming…
A team involved in APOGEE, one of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III programs, recently announced the discovery of two rare rigidly rotating magnetosphere stars, HD345439 and HD23478. Near-infrared spectra of these objects revealed…
Early-type B stars with strong magnetic fields and rapid rotation form centrifugal magnetospheres (CMs), as the relatively weak stellar wind becomes magnetically confined and centrifugally supported above the Kepler co-rotation radius. CM…
For early type magnetic stars slow, at most moderate rotational velocities have been considered an observational fact. The detection of a multi-kilogauss magnetic field in the B2Vpn star with P approx. 0.52d and v sin approx. 300km/s has…
We present new UBVRI observations of the magnetic Bp star sigma Ori E. The basic features of the star's lightcurve have not changed since the previous monitoring by Hesser et al. (1977), indicating that the star's magnetosphere has remained…
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…
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…
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) - one of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III programs -- is using near-infrared spectra of $\sim 100,000$ red giant branch star candidates to study the structure of the Milky…
Massive star winds are important contributors to the energy, momentum and chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium. Strong, organized and predominantly dipolar magnetic fields have been firmly detected in a small subset of massive…
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…
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…
Some massive stars possess strong magnetic fields that confine plasma in the circumstellar environment. These \textit{magnetospheres} have been studied spectroscopically, photometrically and, more recently, interferometrically. Here we…
Magnetic Doppler imaging is currently the most powerful method of interpreting high-resolution spectropolarimetric observations of stars. This technique has revealed the presence of unexpected small-scale magnetic fields on the surfaces of…
The importance of magnetic fields in three-dimensional magnetoconvection models of the Sun's photosphere is investigated in terms of their influence on the continuum intensity at different viewing inclination angles, and on the intensity…
