The BinaMIcS project: understanding the origin of magnetic fields in massive stars through close binary systems
It is now well established that a fraction of the massive (M>8 Msun) star population hosts strong, organised magnetic fields, most likely of fossil origin. The details of the generation and evolution of these fields are still poorly understood. The BinaMIcS project takes an important step towards...
