clues to the origin and properties of magnetic white dwarfs
isolated magnetic white dwarfs have field strengths ranging from 103g to 109g, and constitute an interesting class of objects. the origin of the magnetic field is still the subject of a hot debate. whether these fields are fossil, hence the remnants of original weak magnetic fields amplified during the course of the ev...

young neutron stars (nss) have magnetic fields in the range 1012-1015 g, believed to be generated by dynamo action at birth. we argue that such a dynamo is actually too inefficient to explain the strongest of these fields. dynamo action in the mature star is also unlikely. instead we propose a promising new precession-...

context.σ ori e, a massive helium b-type star, shows high surface rotation and a strong surface magnetic field, potentially challenging the process of wind magnetic braking.aims: the gaia satellite provides an accurate distance to σ ori e and confirms its membership to the σ ori cluster. we account for these two key pi...
news from gaia on σ ori e: a case study for the wind magnetic braking process
plasma relaxation in the presence of an initially braided magnetic field can lead to self-organization into relaxed states that retain non-trivial magnetic structure. these relaxed states may be in conflict with the linear force-free fields predicted by the classical taylor theory, and remain to be fully understood. he...
evolution of field line helicity in magnetic relaxation
the correlation between space environment conditions and the properties of escaping ions is a central topic of mars research. although empirical correlations have been visible in the data, a physics-based interpretation, rather than statistics-based pictures, has not been established yet. as a first effort, we investig...
solar wind interaction with mars: electric field morphology and source terms
orca (oscillations research with cosmics in the abyss) is the low-energy branch of km3net, the underwater cherenkov neutrino detector in the mediterranean. its primary goal is to resolve the long-standing unsolved question of the neutrino mass ordering by measuring matter oscillation effects in atmospheric neutrinos. t...
km3net - orca: measuring the neutrino mass ordering in the mediterranean
reno (reactor experiment for neutrino oscillation) has obtained the first measured value of effective neutrino mass difference from a spectral analysis of reactor neutrino disappearance. the measurement absolutely relies on the accurate energy calibration. several radioactive sources such as 137cs, 54mn, 68ge, 65zn, 60...

the opera experiment reached its main goal by proving the appearance of ν_{τ} in the cngs ν_μ beam. five ν_{τ} candidates were detected with a s/b ratio of ∼ 10, allowing to reject the null hypothesis at 5.1σ . the search has been extended by loosening the selection criteria in order to improve the statistical uncertai...

orca (oscillations research with cosmics in the abyss) is a megaton-scale cherenkov neutrino detector currently under construction by the km3net collaboration, at a depth of 2450m in the mediterranean sea. atmospheric neutrinos cross the earth along a wide range of baselines, undergoing matter effects which enhance neu...
