Simulations showing the magnetic field lines from the central star passing through the binary. In the left image we have zoomed out so the binary is constantly visible. The image on the right is zoomed in on the central star because the region we are interested in, with |B| ≈ 50 Gauss, islocated there. Normally as described in the text the magnetic field strength criterion is applied first, but for illustrative purposes we show that in the next figure. The blue arrow depicts the direction towards the observer, its angle corresponds with the inclination of the system. When viewed in Adobe Acrobat Reader these images will appear as gifs, showcasing the fact that the celestial bodies orbit around each other. If the embedded animated images do not display correctly, you can also access them online.
