Stellar magnetism: empirical trends with age and rotation

We investigate how the observed large-scale surface magnetic fields of low-mass stars (∼0.1– 2M� ), reconstructed through Zeeman–Doppler imaging, vary with age t, rotation and Xray emission. Our…

Large-scale magnetic topologies of late M dwarfs⋆

We present here the final results of the first spectropolarimetric survey of a small sample of active M dwarfs, aimed at providing observational constraints on dynamo action on both sides of the…

Magnetic cycles of the planet-hosting star τ Bootis

We have obtained new spectropolarimetric observations of the planet-hosting star τ Bootis, using the ESPaDOnS and NARVAL spectropolarimeters at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) and Telescope…

Magnetospheric accretion and spin‐down of the prototypical classical T Tauri star AA Tau

From observations collected with the ESPaDOnS spectropolarimeter at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) and with the NARVAL spectropolarimeter at the Telescope Bernard Lyot (TBL), we report the…

Toroidal versus poloidal magnetic fields in Sun-like stars: a rotation threshold

From a set of stellar spectropolarimetric observations, we report the detection of surface magnetic fields in a sample of four solar-type stars, namely HD 73350, HD 76151, HD 146233 (18 Sco) and HD…

Planets and Stellar Activity: Hide and Seek in the CoRoT-7 system

Abstract Since the discovery of the transiting Super-Earth CoRoT-7b, several investigations have been made of the number and precise masses of planets present in the system, but they all yield…

Large-scale magnetic topologies of early M dwarfs

We present here additional results of a spectropolarimetric survey of a small sample of stars ranging from spectral type M0 to M8 aimed at investigating observationally how dynamo processes operate…

A BCool magnetic snapshot survey of solar-type stars

We present the results of a major high-resolution spectropolarimetric BCool project magnetic survey of 170 solar-type stars. Surface magnetic fields were detected on 67 stars, with 21 classified as…

Magnetic cycles of the planet-hosting star τ Bootis – II. A second magnetic polarity reversal

In this paper, we present new spectropolarimetric observations of the planet- hosting starBootis, using ESPaDOnS and Narval spectropolarimeters at Canada- France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) and Telescope…

Searching for star–planet interactions within the magnetosphere of HD 189733

HD 189733 is a K2 dwarf, orbited by a giant planet at 8.8 stellar radii. In order to study magnetospheric interactions between the star and the planet, we explore the large-scale magnetic field and…
