TL;DR
The MiMeS Project aims to understand magnetic fields in massive stars through extensive spectropolarimetric observations, revealing new magnetic stars and providing high-quality data for further research.
Contribution
This paper provides an overview of the MiMeS Project's structure, current status, and recent discoveries in magnetic fields of massive stars.
Findings
Over 950 high-resolution spectra collected.
Magnetic fields discovered in a dozen stars.
High-quality spectral and magnetic data obtained.
Abstract
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 950 high-resolution polarised spectra of about 150 individual stars with spectral types from B5-O4, discovering new magnetic fields in a dozen hot, massive stars. The quality of this spectral and magnetic mat\'eriel is very high, and the Collaboration is keen to connect with colleagues capable of exploiting the data in new or unforeseen ways. 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.
