Discovery of magnetic fields in the <i>β</i>Cephei star ξ1 CMa and in several slowly pulsating B stars

We present the results of a magnetic survey of a sample of eight beta 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 beta Cephei star xi^1 CMa …
