The plague of magnetic spots among the hot stars of globular clusters: a bridge between MS and WD stars
I will report on our recent discovery of a wide-spread photometric variability among hot (~20,000 – 30,000 K) extreme horizontal branch (EHB) stars in Galactic globular clusters. The EHB variability is periodic, displaying single-wave, low-amplitude and ~2-50 days modulations. The variability cannot be ascribed to either binary evolution or
