CRITICAL EVALUATION OF MAGNETIC FIELD DETECTIONS REPORTED FOR PULSATING B-TYPE STARS IN LIGHT OF ESPaDOnS, NARVAL, AND REANALYZED FORS1/2 OBSERVATIONS

CRITICAL EVALUATION OF MAGNETIC FIELD DETECTIONS REPORTED FOR PULSATING B-TYPE STARS IN LIGHT OF ESPaDOnS, NARVAL, AND REANALYZED FORS1/2 OBSERVATIONS

Recent spectropolarimetric studies of seven slowly pulsating B (SPB) and β Cep stars have suggested that photospheric magnetic fields are more common in B-type pulsators than in the general population of B stars, suggesting a significant connection between magnetic and pulsational phenomena. We present an analysis of new and previously …
