Unstable Phenomena in Stable Magnetospheres: Searching for Radio Flares from Magnetic OBA Stars Using VCSS

Although the majority of hot magnetic stars have extremely stable, ∼kilogauss strength surface magnetic fields with simple topologies, a subset undergoes small-scale explosions due to centrifugal breakout. The resulting small-scale flares are typically below the sensitivity of current magnetospheric...
