Proceedings of Magnetic Stars 2010, invited presentation

Scientific paper

The Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) Project is a consensus collaboration among many of the foremost international researchers of the physics of hot, massive stars, with the basic aim of understanding the origin, evolution and impact of magnetic fields in these objects. At the time of writing, MiMeS Large Programs have acquired over 1250 high-resolution polarised spectra of about 150 individual stars with spectral types from B5-O4, discovering new magnetic fields in over a dozen hot, massive stars. Notable results include the detection of magnetic fields in the two most rapidly-rotating known magnetic stars, and in the most massive known magnetic star. In this paper we review the structure of the MiMeS observing programs and report the status of observations, data modeling and development of related theory, and review important results obtained so far.
