How unique is Plaskett’s star? A search for organized magnetic fields in short period, interacting or post-interaction massive binary systems
Amongst O-type stars with detected magnetic fields, the fast rotator in the close binary called Plaskett's star shows a variety of unusual properties. Since strong binary interactions are believed to have occurred in this system, one may wonder about their potential role in generating magnetic fields. Stokes V spectra collected …
