which still lack clear physical explanation. Among these phenomena are photospheric …

Envelope convection, surface magnetism, and spots in a and late B-type stars

M Cantiello, J Braithwaite - The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Weak magnetic fields have recently been detected in a number of A-type stars, including
Vega and Sirius. At the same time, space photometry observations of A and late B-type stars …

Turbulent processes and mean-field dynamo

A Brandenburg, D Elstner, Y Masada, V Pipin - Space Science Reviews, 2023 - Springer
