Magnetic Fields and Activity in Stars: Origins and Evolution

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetic fields occur everywhere in the Universe. They appear as a characteristic of matter and they accompany the whole life of a star—from birth to death. Recent findings point to their crucial role in stars and their planetary systems. The following topics are of prime interest in stellar physics: magnetic field transformations in the course of stellar evolution when the internal structure of stars changes, the different mechanisms for the generation and enhancement of magnetic fields and activity depending on the structure and rotation of a star, the role of magnetic fields and activity in mass transfer in close binary stars, and star–planet magnetic interactions.

This Special Issue is dedicated to publishing original research and review papers on magnetism and activity in stars during their whole life.

Scope:

• Stellar magnetic fields and stellar activity;
• Evolution, stellar structure, and magnetic activity;
• Internal magnetic fields;
• Binary stars and magnetic activity;
• Stellar dynamos;
• Star–planet interactions;
• Stellar magnetic cycles.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
