    Magnetic Field and Convection in the Cool Supergiant Betelgeuse

    We present the outcome of a highly-sensitive search for magnetic fields on the cool supergiant Betelgeuse. A time-series of six circularly polarized spectra was obtained using the NARVAL spectropolarimeter at ...

    Differential Rotation of Close Binary Stars: Application to HR 1099

    We propose a new method for estimating differentialrotation in binary stars, for which only moderate to poor phase coverage can be obtained (rotation period of order of a few days), preventing the use of conve...

    Imaging the Magnetic Topologies of Cool Active Stars

    In the last decade, new indirect imaging techniques have been proposed to unveil the surface magnetic topologies of rapidly rotating active stars, which are found to be vastly different from that of the Sun. A...

    MUSICOS Observations of SU Aurigae

    We present results from the MUSICOS (MUlti-Slte COntinuous Spectroscopy) campaign 1996 on the classical T Tauri star SU Aurigae. Our observations support the suggestion that the wind and infall signatures are ...
