Scientific Rationale:
Magnetic fields are present at all stages of stellar evolution, from brown dwarfs and young T Tauri stars through the main sequence phase, to the end products: white dwarfs, neutron stars, and magnetars. The scientific programme will highlight the most recent observational and theoretical work in the field including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- the origin of stellar magnetic fields
- magnetic field geometry and evolution in pre-main-sequence stars
- magnetic fields, rotation, and differential rotation on the main sequence
- the role of small-scale magnetic fields in stellar atmospheres
- global dynamos, activity cycles, and the rotation-activity-age relation in solar-type stars
- magnetic fields in massive stars and magnetically-confined winds
- magnetic star/planet and disk/planet interaction
- magnetism in the late stages of stellar evolution
- future perspectives in theory and observational facilities
We plan to publish all talks containing original research in the journal Astronomical Notes.
We hope to see you in Potsdam!
