Impact of Changing Stellar and Planetary Magnetic Fields on (Exo)planetary Environments and Atmospheric Mass Loss

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The magnetic activity of a star—which modulates the stellar wind outflow—shapes the immediate environments of orbiting (exo)planets and induces atmospheric loss, thereby impacting their habitability.

Recent Measurements of Stellar Magnetic Fields [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1991
High resolution, high S/N spectra have been successfully modeled to yield information on the magnetic properties of cool stars for some 15 years now. These analyses yield estimates of the intensity weighted surface filling factor of active regions, f, and the mean unsigned field strength in these regions), B.

Estimations and Scaling Laws for Stellar Magnetic Fields [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Abstract In rapidly rotating turbulence (i.e., a Rossby number much less than unity), the standard mixing length theory for turbulent convection breaks down. However, the Coriolis force enters the force balance such that the magnetic field eventually depends on rotation.

Stellar magnetic field database and extrapolation method

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. During the past two decades, thousands of stellar magnetic fields have been measured using the Zeeman-Doppler imaging method. No unified database gathers all measurements in a homogeneous way. Aims.

The magnetic fields, activity and hidden companions of solar-type stars [PDF]

, 2023
The magnetic fields of the Sun and other solar-type stars manifest in a range of observable surface phenomena that provide insight into the magnetic dynamos operating within, but also hamper the detection of exoplanets.

The basic role of magnetic fields in stellar evolution [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008
AbstractMagnetic field is playing an important role at all stages of star evolution from star formation to the endpoints. The main effects are briefly reviewed. We also show that O–type stars have large convective envelopes, where convective dynamo could work.

Catalog of Magnetic White Dwarfs with Hydrogen Dominated Atmospheres

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
White dwarfs are excellent research laboratories as they reach temperatures, pressures, and magnetic fields that are unattainable on Earth. To better understand how these three physical parameters interact with each other and with other stellar features,

Masers and Stellar Magnetic Fields [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1990
Observations of circular polarization of molecular masers associated with late type giant and supergiant stars can be used to estimate the magnetic field strength in the masing region. Magnetic field strengths of ~ 5 mG are deduced for OH masers in circumstellar envelopes at distances of ~ 1016 cm from the star, and magnetic field strengths of ~ 50 G ...
