Stellar coronal magnetic fields and star-planet interaction
Context. Evidence of magnetic interaction between late-type stars and close-in giant planets is provided by the observations of stellar hot spots rotating synchronously with the planets and showing an enhancement of chromospheric and X-ray fluxes. Possible photospheric signatures of such an interaction have also been reported. Aims. We investigate star-planet interaction in the framework of a m...
متن کاملRadio Measurements of Coronal Magnetic Fields
The measurement of magnetic field strengths in the solar corona using radio observations is reviewed. This is a well established technique that exploits the fact that the electron gyrofrequency for typical coronal magnetic field strengths (100–2000 Gauss) lies in the radio frequency range. Opacity from the resulting gyroresonance emission from hot plasma above active regions allows the direct m...
متن کاملStellar Evolution with Rotation and Magnetic Fields
We examine the generation of a magnetic field in a solar-like star and its effects on the internal distribution of the angular velocity. We suggest that the evolution of a rotating star with magnetic fields leads to an equilibrium value of the differential rotation. This equilibrium is determined by the magnetic coupling, which favours a constant rotation profile, and meridional circulation whi...
متن کاملMagnetic Fields in High-Density Stellar Matter
I briefly review some aspects of the effect of magnetic fields in the high density regime relevant to neutron stars, focusing mainly on compact star structure and composition, superconductivity, combustion processes, and gamma ray bursts. THE “MAGNETIC FIELD” OF “NEUTRON STARS” A large body of evidence now identifies the presence of strong magnetic fields at (or very near) the surface of neutro...
متن کاملStable magnetic fields in stellar interiors
We investigate the 50-year old hypothesis that the magnetic fields of the Ap stars are stable equilibria that have survived in these stars since their formation. With numerical simulations we find that stable magnetic field configurations indeed appear to exist under the conditions in the radiative interior of a star. Confirming a hypothesis by Prendergast (1956), the configurations have roughl...
