Popis: Internal rotation and magnetism are key ingredients that largely affect explosive stellar deaths (Supernovae and Gamma Ray Bursts) and the properties of stellar remnants (White Dwarfs, Neutron Stars and Black Holes). However, the study of these subtle internal stellar properties has been limited to very indirect proxies. In the last couple of years, exciting asteroseismic results have been obtained by the Kepler satellite. Among these results are 1) The direct measure of the degree of radial differential rotation in many evolved low-mass stars and in a few massive stars, and 2) The detection of strong (>105 G) internal magnetic fields in thousands of red giant stars that had convective cores during their main sequence. I will discuss the impact of these important findings for our understanding of massive star evolution.
