SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT

"Stars with a stable magnetic field: from pre-main sequence to compact
remnants"
International Conference, August 28 - September 01, 2017

http://magnetic17.physics.muni.cz/

Venue: Department of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics, Brno, Czech
Republic

The registration is open until the 15th of August at

Scientific Rationale:

Magnetic fields play an important role in the evolution of all stellar
objects, through their ability to influence and alter the angular momentum
evolution, internal mixing, activity phenomena, surface abundances and
mass-loss of stars. This research field benefits from new highly accurate
measurements and numerical simulations, enabling stellar astrophysicists to
take magnetic fields into account in most models of stellar structure and
evolution. We want to bring together researchers from different fields where
magnetic fields play an important role to join their efforts and discuss
their common interests.

The following topics will be covered:
- Characteristics of surface magnetic fields in early-type stars
- Magnetic fields and the stellar structure and evolution
- Magnetism, accretion and braking of PMS stars
- Surface structure formation in the presence of magnetic field: connection
with diffusion and accretion
- Magnetic field origin and stability
- Magnetically-confined winds
- Stellar pulsations in the presence of global magnetic fields
- Post main sequence evolution of early-type magnetic stars
- Final phases of stellar evolution: magnetism in compact objects
- The future of magnetic field measurements in hot stars

The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Contributions of
the Astronomical Observatory Skalnaté Pleso.
