The Impact

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will answer fundamental questions about the origin, evolution, properties, and influence of magnetic fields throughout the Universe. Magnetic fields can illuminate and influence phenomena as diverse as star formation, galactic dynamics, fast radio bursts, active galactic nuclei, large-scale structure, and dark matter annihilation. Preparations for the SKA are swiftly continuing worldwide, and the community is making tremendous observational progress in the field of cosmic magnetism using data from a powerful international suite of SKA pathfinder and precursor telescopes. In this contribution, we revisit community plans for magnetism research using the SKA, in light of these recent rapid developments. We focus in particular on the impact that new radio telescope instrumentation is generating, thus advancing our understanding of key SKA magnetism science areas, as well as the new techniques that are required for processing and interpreting the data. We discuss these recent developments in the context of the ultimate scientific goals for the SKA era.

AbstractMagnetic fields are unexpected in massive stars, due to the absence of a sub-surface convective dynamo. However, advances in instrumentation over the past three decades have led to their detection in a small but growing subset of these stars. Moreover, complementary theoretical developments have highlighted their potentially significant influence over the structure, evolution and circumstellar environments of massive stars. Here, we summarize a special session convened prior to the main conference, focused on presenting recent developments in the study of massive-star magnetic fields.

Recent Developments

Results coming from the study of relativistic vector mesons interacting with a constant magnetic field are examined through Johnson-Lippmann implications on one-dimensional oscillatorlike systems. We obtain specific nonrelativistic Hamiltonians showing new properties in quantum mechanics and leading to superpositions of bosons and pseudofermions. Moreover, two “potentials” are introduced and discussed in comparison with recent developments usually obtained in p=2 parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics. Pseudofermions are also examined, particularly with respect to orthofermions.

Recent Developments

AbstractAsteroseismology—using stellar oscillations to study the interiors of stars—is a relatively new and growing research field in astrophysics. Oscillations are found in stars of most masses and essentially all stages of evolution. Their frequencies are determined by the internal sound speed and density structure of the star, as well as rotation, convection processes and possibly effects of magnetic fields. Recent developments have led to a breakthrough in our ability to study the details of cores of solar-like stars and it is foreseen that a number of key science questions will be addressed through the analysis of frequencies and other properties of stellar oscillations. In this paper we review some of the latest results from asteroseismology of solar-like stars, with the focus on properties of convection.

The Magnetic Field

Magnetic fields are known to reside in many astrophysical objects and are now believed to be crucially important for the creation of phenomena on a wide variety of scales. However, the role of the magnetic field in the bodies that we observe has not always been clear. In certain situations, the importance of a magnetic field has been overlooked on the grounds that the large-scale magnetic field was believed to be too weak to play an important role in the dynamics. In this article I discuss some of the recent developments concerning magnetic fields in stars, planets and accretion discs. I choose to emphasize some of the situations where it has been suggested that weak magnetic fields may play a more significant role than previously thought. At the end of the article, I list some of the questions to be answered in the future.

Stellar Magnetic Fields

Our present-day understanding of solar and stellar magnetic fields is discussed from both an observational and theoretical viewpoint. To begin with, observations of the Sun's large-scale magnetic field are described, along with recent advances in measuring the spatial distribution of magnetic fields on other stars. Following this, magnetic flux transport models used to simulate photospheric magnetic fields and the wide variety of techniques used to deduce global coronal magnetic fields are considered. The application and comparison of these models to the Sun's open flux, hemispheric pattern of solar filaments and coronal mass ejections are then discussed. Finally, recent developments in the construction of steady-state global magnetohydrodynamic models are considered, along with key areas of future research.
