Description
Some stars show periodic variability of the longitudinal (effective) global magnetic field B_e_ mainly due to rotation. We present the second version of the catalog of average magnetic phase curves, which are functions of B_e_ versus the rotational phase phi, tables of their parameters. The curves were obtained from literary data and as the result of observations from SAO RAS telescopes. A total of 357 stars of various spectral types were studied, data on which was published before the end of August 2020. Magnetic Ap and Bp stars make up the most numerous a subset in the catalog (224 objects). Phase curves were obtained by least squares fit of a simple sine wave or a double sine wave to the available B_e measurements. For some stars we also improved or determined periods of their rotation. Phase curves also are presented in 514 figures. In some cases several phase curves presented here correspond to the same star. This occurred when different observational techniques produced significantly different series of B_e_ values for that star. In a few cases the rotational phase curves of the surface field, B_s_, are given for stars where longitudinal magnetic field data were not available.
