A search for strong, ordered magnetic fields in Herbig Ae/Be stars
A search for strong, ordered magnetic fields in Herbig Ae/Be stars
The origin of magnetic fields in intermediate-mass and high-mass stars is fundamentally a mystery. Clues toward solving this basic astrophysical problem can likely be found at the pre-main sequence (PMS) evolutionary stage. With this work, we perform the largest and most sensitive search for magnetic fields in pre-main sequence Herbig …
