Stellar mergers as the origin of magnetic massive stars

FRN Schneider, ST Ohlmann, P Podsiadlowski… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
About ten per cent of 'massive'stars (those of more than 1.5 solar masses) have strong, large-
scale surface magnetic fields,–. It has been suggested that merging of main-sequence and …
