Fossil magnetic fields and rotation of early-type stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Extract
Observational data of the last 10 years allow two main conclusions:
a) Main sequence stars can be separated in two classes: - magnetic (Bp) stars with surface strengths of a dipole or quadrupole magnetic field of Bs ≈ n · (102 − 103) G, n = 2,3,4…7, and - normal main sequence stars (F-O) with magnetic fields Bs ≈ 1 − 100 G (< 300 G);
b) Typical star formation takes place in interstellar molecular clouds with magnetic field strengths B ≈ 10-5 G (See Dudorov 1990).
