HIGH RESOLUTION SPECTROPOLARIMETRY OF THE SOLAR TWINS

The study of solar twins offers a unique opportunity to investigating the solar magnetic field over longer timescales. Supported by the new generation of stellar spectropolarimeters (ESPaDOnS@CFHT, NARVAL@TBL), we are able to measure the large-scale magnetic field solar twins. Studying the behavior of solar magnetic field, we are able to learn about the mechanisms of magnetic field generation in the dynamo process. Besides convection, various physical parameters affect the dynamo operation, in particular the rotation and mass. We collected signature of the stellar large-scale magnetic field for solar twins and we present here a analysis of seven candidates.
