Magnetic White Dwarfs with Strong Fields and the Origin of Magnetism in White Dwarfs and Neutron Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
Work in progress at Steward Observatory covering three aspects of magnetism in degenerate dwarfs is reviewed. First, the identification of the Minkowski bands in Grw + 70° 8247 with Zeeman transitions in hydrogen. Second, a determination of field strengths in the more strongly magnetic white dwarfs. Third, some observations and speculations concerning the origin of white dwarf and neutron star magnetic fields.
