Abstract

The presence of a magnetic field in the outer layers of hot OB-type main sequence stars has clear and immediate impacts on their radiation-driven winds, resulting in obvious physical consequences than directly influence their observational properties and subsequent evolution. Furthermore, those initial magnetic fields are transported and modified during the stars’ future histories, and may appear as evolved fossils or they may seed dynamos as the stars cool and grow during their post-main sequence evolution. In this paper I will review the characteristics and consequences of the magnetic fields observed in hot stars, both on the main sequence and at later stages of stellar evolution.

Keywords : Massive stars, stellar magnetic fields, stellar evolution
