title: Magnetospheric accretion and spin-down of the prototypical classical T Tauri star AA Tau
abstract: From observations collected with the ESPaDOnS spectropolarimeter at the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) and with the NARVAL spectropolarimeter at the Télescope Bernard Lyot (TBL), we report the detection of Zeeman signatures on the prototypical classical T Tauri star AA Tau, both in photospheric lines and accretion-powered emission lines. Using time series of unpolarized and circularly polarized spectra, we reconstruct at two epochs maps of the magnetic field, surface brightness and accret
