MOBSTER: Identifying Candidate Magnetic O Stars through Rotational Modulation of TESS Photometry
O-type stars display rotational modulation of their photometric brightness due to surface features induced by fossil magnetic fields, and possibly through dynamos driven by subsurface convection. These features introduce wind perturbations that may drive large-scale structures and flows, including magnetospheres and corotating interaction regions
