Scientific paper

The recent detection of magnetic fields in massive stars has profoundly changed our understanding of the structure and evolution of these objects. In addition, detailed modelling shows that intense magnetic fields can have a strong impact on the X-ray emission. Currently, only a few tens of magnetic hot stars are known, and much fewer have been observed at high energies. The observed diversity of behaviours and the small sample size actually prevent us from recognizing the overall trends. By doubling the sample size with a small investment of time, we will be able to undertake such a systematic study of the X-ray properties of magnetic massive stars, which will help us better understand which parameters govern their high-energy emission.
