We have identified 7 new magnetic DA white dwarfs in the Early Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our selection strategy has also recovered all the previously known magnetic white dwarfs contained in the SDSS EDR, KUV03292+0035 and HE0330–0002. Analysing the SDSS fibre spectroscopy of the magnetic DA white dwarfs with our state-of-the-art model spectra, we find dipole field strengths...

We present the results of a magnetic survey of a sample of eight β 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 β Cephei star ξ CMa and in 13 SPB stars. The star ξ CMa becomes the third magnetic star among the β Cephei stars. Before our study, the star ζ Cas was the only known m...

Modeling the magnetic field in prestellar cores can serve as a useful tool for studying initial conditions of star formation. The analytic hourglass model Ewertowski and Basu (2013) provides means to fit observed polarimetry measurements extract information. original does not specify any radial distribution electric current density. Here, we perform survey possible centrally-peaked distribution...

Low-frequency waves are closely related to magnetospheric energy dissipation processes. The Cassini spacecraft explored Saturn's magnetosphere for over 13 years, until September 2017, covering a period of more than complete solar cycle. Using this rich heritage data set, we systematically investigated key physical parameters low-frequency in magnetosphere, including their local time distributio...
