A weak magnetic field has been detected on the surface of Sirius A. Stellar models suggest that the star formed during the collapsing of a molecular cloud, and that after years, its internal energy generation was derived entirely from nuclear reactions. The core became convective and used the CNO cycle for energy generation. It is predicted that Sirius A will have completely exhausted the store of hydrogen at its core within a billion
