Fast spinning Hertzsprung gap giants display super-rotational broadening of UV “hot” lines like Fe XXI λ1354 and C IV λ1548, with FWHM's up to twice that expected from the photospheric v sin i. This possibly is the result of extended fossil magnetospheres enveloping the gap giants, a new type of stellar corona. The magnetospheric phase is short-lived, however, as the rapidly evolving giants develop a competing dynamo-generated surface field in the so-called Rapid Braking Zone.
