The magnetic field of the Ap star HD 115708.

WADE G.A., NEAGU E. and LANDSTREET J.D.

Abstract (from CDS):

Photoelectric circular polarization measurements have been obtained for the A2pSrEu star HD 115708. These data indicate the presence of an approximately dipolar magnetic field whose line-of-sight component varies sinusoidally with extrema of -1.5 and +0.9kG. The period of this variation is found to be 5.07622±0.0004d. The inclination of the rotation axis to the line-of-sight and the magnetic axis obliquity have been calculated employing the method of Leroy et al. (1995). These values are i=130±15deg and β=77±6deg respectively.
