Hot subluminous stars

U Heber - Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Hot subluminous stars of spectral type B and O are core helium-burning stars at the blue end
of the horizontal branch or have evolved even beyond that stage. Most hot subdwarf stars …

Discovery and analysis of three magnetic hot subdwarf stars: evidence for merger-induced magnetic fields
