About article:
All known Galactic Of?p stars have been shown to host strong, organized, magnetic fields. Recently, five Of?p stars have been discovered in the Magellanic Clouds.
They posses photometric (Nazé et al., 2015) and spectroscopic (Walborn et al., 2015)
variability compatible with the Oblique Rotator Model (ORM). However, their
magnetic fields have yet to be directly detected. We have developed an
algorithm allowing for the synthesis of photometric observables based on the
Analytic Dynamical Magnetosphere (ADM) model by Owocki et al. (2016). We apply
our model to OGLE photometry in order to constrain their magnetic geometries
and surface dipole strengths. We predict that the field strengths for some
of theses candidate extra-Galactic magnetic stars may be within the
detection limits of the FORS2 instrument
