GFMC calculations of electromagnetic moments and M1 transitions in $A\leq 9$ nuclei

We present recent Green's function Monte Carlo calculations of magnetic moments and M1 transitions in $A \leq 9$ nuclei, which include corrections arising from two-body meson-exchange electromagnetic currents. Two-body effects provide significant corrections to the calculated observables, bringing them in excellent agreement with the experimental data. In particular, we find that two-body corrections are especially large in the A=9, $T=3/2$ systems, in which they account for up to $\sim 20%$ ($\sim 40 %$) of the total predicted value for the $^9$Li ($^9$C) magnetic moment.
