Round table on stellar evolution: rotation, magnetic field or what?
A. MaederGeneva Observatory, 1290 Sauverny, Switzerland
Abstract
Rotation and mass loss appear to resolve many problems remaining in the
evolution of massive stars. But, we may wonder whether magnetic fields
are important or not. Some first effects of the magnetic fields created
by the Tayler-Spruit dynamo
for massive stars are shown. As it stands presently,
the theory does not agree well with observations.
Thus, either magnetic fields are of little importance
in massive stars or the dynamo theory needs to be further improved.
