Recent results for classical Be stars are reviewed and links to general astrophysics are
presented. Classical Be stars are B‐type stars close to the main sequence that exhibit line …

Magnetic fields are present in a wide variety of stars throughout the HR diagram and play a
role at basically all evolutionary stages, from very-low-mass dwarfs to very massive stars …

Abstract The MiMeS (Magnetism in Massive Stars) project is a large-scale, high-resolution,
sensitive spectropolarimetric investigation of the magnetic properties of O-and early B-type …

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 …

Aims. We investigated a sample of 28 well-known spectroscopically-identified magnetic
Ap/Bp stars, with weak, poorly-determined or previously undetected magnetic fields. The aim …

We present numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the effect of stellar
dipole magnetic fields on line-driven wind outflows from hot, luminous stars. Unlike previous …

We report the detection, through spectropolarimetric observations, of a strong dipolar
magnetic field of presumably fossil origin at the surface of the very young O star θ 1 Ori C …

Context. During the last decade, the FORS1 instrument of the ESO Very Large Telescope
has been extensively used to study stellar magnetism. A number of interesting discoveries of …

Seismic modelling of the β Cephei stars promises major advances in our understanding of
the physics of early B-type stars on (or close to) the main sequence. However, a precise …

We present a comprehensive study of X-ray emission by, and wind properties of, massive
magnetic early B-type stars. Dedicated XMM–Newton observations were obtained for three …
