Abstract The Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) project represents the largest systematic survey of stellar magnetism ever undertaken. Based on a sample of over 550 Galactic B and O-type stars, the MiMeS project has derived the basic characteristics of magnetism in hot, massive stars. Herein we report preliminary results.

• The MiMeS survey of Magnetism in Massive Stars : magnetic analysis of the O-type stars (2016, background): “The MiMeS survey (Wade et al. 2016; hereinafter ‘Paper I’) collected over 4800 high resolution circular polarization spectra of roughly 560 bright stars of spectral types B and O.”
• Massive pulsating stars observed by BRITE-Constellation - I. The triple system β Centauri (Agena) (2016, background): “The great advantage of observing such bright stars is that accompanying simultaneous time-series high resolution, high signal-to-noise spectroscopy and/or spectropolarimetry (Neiner & Lèbre 2014; Wade et al. 2016) can easily be obtained from the ground.”
