The rapid rotation and complex magnetic field geometry of Vega

The rapid rotation and complex magnetic field geometry of Vega

The recent discovery of a weak surface magnetic field on the normal intermediate-mass star Vega raises the question of the origin of this magnetism in a class of stars that was not known to host magnetic fields. We aim to confirm the field detection and provide additional observational constraints about …
