Recent highlights of spectropolarimetry applied to the magnetometry of massive stars
Abstract Spectropolarimetry is a powerful tool used to probe fundamental properties of stars that cannot typically be measured in any other way. A new generation of high-resolution spectropolarimeters (ESPaDOnS at the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope, Narval at the Télescope Bernad Lyot, and HARPSpol...

Abstract Spectropolarimetry is a powerful tool used to probe fundamental properties of stars that cannot typically be measured in any other way.
