HR 5907: Discovery of the most rapidly rotating magnetic early B-type star by the MiMeS Collaboration★†
We report the discovery and analysis of a very strong magnetic field in the rapidly rotating early B-type star HR 5907, based on observations obtained as part of the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) project. We infer a rotation period of 0.508276 +0.000015/-0.000012 d from photometric and H{\alpha} EW measurements, …
