| Abstract: |
The Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) survey represents a high-precision
systematic search for magnetic fields in hot, massive OB stars. To date,
MiMeS Large Programs (ESPaDOnS@CFHT, Narval@TBL, HARPSpol@ESO3.6 m) and
associated PI programs (FORS@VLT) have yielded nearly 1200 circular
spectropolarimetric observations of over 350 OB stars. Within this sample, 20
stars are detected as magnetic. Follow-up observations of new detections
reveals (i) a large diversity of magnetic properties, (ii) ubiquitous evidence
for magnetic wind confinement in optical spectra of all magnetic O stars, and
(iii) the presence of strong, organized magnetic fields in all known Galactic
Of?p stars, and iv) a complete absence of magnetic fields in classical Be
stars. |
