Envelope Convection, Surface Magnetism, and Spots in A and Late B-type Stars Open
Weak magnetic fields have recently been detected in a number of A-type stars, including Vega and Sirius. At the same time, space photometry observations of A and late B-type stars from Kepler and TESS have highlighted the existence of rota…

Magnetic fields in non-convective regions of stars Open
We review the current state of knowledge of magnetic fields inside stars, concentrating on recent developments concerning magnetic fields in stably stratified (zones of) stars, leaving out convective dynamo theories and observations of con…

Fast and slow magnetic deflagration fronts in type I X-ray bursts Open
Type I X-ray bursts are produced by thermonuclear runaways that develop on accreting neutron stars. Once one location ignites, the flame propagates across the surface of the star. Flame propagation is fundamental in order to understand bur…

The MiMeS survey of magnetism in massive stars: introduction and overview Open
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 stars. Initiated in 2008 and completed in 2013, the project was…

A hydrostatic MHD code for modeling stellar interiors Open
\n In gravitationally stratified fluids, the length scales of fluid motion are often much\n greater in the horizontal direction than in the vertical. When modeling these fluids, it\n can be advantageous to use the hydrostatic approximation…

From pulsar scintillations to coronal heating: discontinuities in magnetohydrodynamics Open
From pulsar scintillations, we infer the presence of sheet-like structures in the interstellar medium; it has been suggested that these are current sheets. Current sheets probably play an important role in heating the solar corona, and the…

Stability of toroidal magnetic fields in stellar interiors Open
\n Aims. Magnetic fields play an important role during the formation and evolution of stars. Of particular interest in stellar evolution is what effect they have on the transport angular momentum and mixing of chemical elements along the r…

Rotational effects in thermonuclear type I bursts: equatorial crossing and directionality of flame spreading Open
In a previous study on thermonuclear (type I) bursts on accreting neutron stars, we addressed and demonstrated the importance of the effects of rotation, through the Coriolis force, on the propagation of the burning flame. However, that st…
