- Description:
- We present new orbits for sixteen Ap spectroscopic binaries, four of which might in fact be Am stars, and give their orbital elements. Four of them are SB2 systems: HD 5550, HD 22128, HD 56495 and HD 98088. The twelve other stars are : HD 9996, HD 12288, HD 40711, HD 54908, HD 65339, HD 73709, HD 105680, HD 138426, HD 184471, HD 188854, HD 200405 and HD 216533. Rough estimates of the individual masses of the components of HD 65339 (53 Cam) are given, combining our radial velocities with the results of speckle interferometry and with Hipparcos parallaxes. Considering the mass functions of 74 spectroscopic binaries from this work and from the literature, we conclude that the distribution of the mass ratio is the same for cool Ap stars as for normal G dwarfs. Therefore, the only differences between binaries with normal stars and those hosting an Ap star lie in the period distribution: except for the case of HD 200405, all orbital periods are longer than (or equal to) 3 days. A consequence of this peculiar distribution is a deficit of null eccentricities. There is no indication that the secondary has a special nature, like e.g. a white dwarf.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A catalogue of all the periods published up to 31 October 1996 on 364 CP stars is presented; it supersedes the previous version (catalog <III/152>). The paper version (catalog.tex) is arranged in three tables: the bulk of the data, i.e. those referring to CP2, CP3, and CP4 stars, are given in Table 1, while the data concerning He-strong stars are given in Table 2 and those for eclipsing or ellipsoidal variables are collected in Table 3. Notes are also provided at the end of each table, mainly about duplicities. The machine-readable version was arranged in two main parts: the main parameters of the 364 stars (identifiers and names, positions, spectral types, magnitudes and peculiarities) are tabulated in the file 'stars'; periods and the of the observed variations (light, spectrum, magnetic field, etc.) are listed in the 'periods' file. Two other files contains the notes and the references.

- Description:
- The paper presents the results of magnetic field measurements of 27 chemically peculiar stars in subgroups (c) and (d) of the Orion OB1 association. In total, more than 140 circularly polarized spectra were obtained and measured in the period from 2013 to 2020. An analysis of the results showed that 13 out of 24 CP stars in subgroup (c) have a magnetic field. At the same time, no field of a significant strength was found in any of the three CP stars in subgroup (d). We found that the occurrence of magnetic stars in subgroup (c), whose average age is approximately 5Myr, lies in the middle between the occurrence of magnetic stars in subgroups (a) with an age of 10 Myr and (b), whose age is about 2Myr. Our results indicate a sharp decrease in the occurrence of magnetic CP stars and a simultaneous decrease in their magnetic field with age. The data obtained with the example of the Orion OB1 association generally support the theory of the fossil origin of the magnetic field of chemically peculiar stars; however, the process of the field formation itself can have a number of features manifesting observationally.

- Description:
- The paper presents magnetic field measurements for 15 chemically peculiar (CP) stars of subgroup 1b in the Orion OB1 association. We have found that the proportion of stars with strong magnetic fields among these 15 CP stars is almost twice as large as in subgroup 1a. Along with this, the age of subgroup 1b is estimated as 2Myr, and the age of subgroup 1a is in the order of 10Myr. The average root-mean-square magnetic field <Be> (all) for stars in subgroup 1b is 2.3 times higher than that for stars in subgroup 1a. The conclusions obtained fall within the concept of the fossil origin of large-scale magnetic fields in B and A stars, but the rate of field weakening with age appears anomalously high. We present our results as an important observational test for calibrating the theory of stellar magnetic field formation and evolution.

- Description:
- In this paper we describe and evaluate new spectral line polarization observations obtained with the goal of mapping the surfaces of magnetic Ap stars in great detail. One hundred complete or partial Stokes IQUV sequences, corresponding to 297 individual polarized spectra, have been obtained for seven bright Ap stars using the Echelle SpectroPolarimetric Device for the Observation of Stars (ESPaDOnS) and NARVAL high-resolution spectropolarimeters. The targets span a range of masses from approximately 1.8 to 3.4M_{sun}_, a range of rotation periods from 2.56 to 6.80d and a range of maximum longitudinal magnetic field strengths from 0.3 to over 4kG. For three of the seven stars, we have obtained dense phase coverage sampling the entire rotational cycle.

- Description:
- Some Ap stars that have a strong enough magnetic field and a sufficiently low v sin i show spectral lines resolved into their magnetically split components. We present the results of a systematic study of the magnetic fields and other properties of those stars. Methods. This study is based on 271 new measurements of the mean magnetic field modulus <B> of 43 stars, 231 determinations of the mean longitudinal magnetic field <Bz> and of the crossover <Xz> of 34 stars, and 229 determinations of the mean quadratic magnetic field <Bq> of 33 stars. Those data were used to derive new values or meaningful lower limits of the rotation periods Prot of 21 stars. Variation curves of the mean field modulus were characterised for 25 stars, the variations of the longitudinal field were characterised for 16 stars, and the variations of the crossover and of the quadratic field were characterised for 8 stars. Our data are complemented by magnetic measurements from the literature for 41 additional stars with magnetically resolved lines. Phase coverage is sufficient to define the curve of variation of Hm for 2 of these stars. Published data were also used to characterise the Hz curves of variation for 10 more stars. Furthermore, we present 1297 radial velocity measurements of the 43 Ap stars in our sample that have magnetically resolved lines. Nine of these stars are spectroscopic binaries for which new orbital elements were derived. The existence of a cut-off at the low end of the distribution of the phase-averaged mean magnetic field moduli <B>av of the Ap stars with resolved magnetically split lines, at about 2.8kG, is confirmed. This reflects the probable existence of a gap in the distribution of the magnetic field strengths in slowly rotating Ap stars, below which there is a separate population of stars with fields weaker than ~2kG. In more than half of the stars with magnetically resolved lines that have a rotation period shorter than 150 days, <B>av>7.5kG, while those stars with a longer period all have <B>av<7.5kG. The difference between the two groups is significant at the 100.0% confidence level. The relative amplitudes of variation of the mean field modulus may tend to be greater in stars with Prot>100d than in shorter period stars. The root-mean-square longitudinal fields of all the studied stars but one is less than one-third of their phase-averaged mean field moduli, which is consistent with the expected behaviour for fields whose geometrical structure resembles a centred dipole. However, moderate but significant departures from the latter are frequent. Crossover resulting from the correlation between the Zeeman effect and the rotation-induced Doppler effect across the stellar surface is definitely detected in stars with rotation periods of up to 130 days and possibly even up to 500 days. Weak, but formally significant crossover of constant sign, has also been observed in a number of longer period stars, which could potentially be caused by pulsation velocity gradients across the depth of the photosphere. The quadratic field is in average ~1.3 times greater than the mean field modulus and both of those moments vary with similar relative amplitudes and almost in phase in most stars. Rare exceptions almost certainly have unusual field structures. The distribution of the known values and lower limits of the rotation periods of the Ap stars with magnetically resolved lines indicates that for some of them, Prot must almost certainly reach 300 years or possibly even much higher values. Of the 43 Ap stars that we studied in detail, 22 are in binary systems. The shortest orbital period P_orb of those systems is 27 days. For those non-synchronised Ap binaries for which both the rotation period and the orbital period, or meaningful lower limits thereof, are reliably determined, the distribution of the orbital periods of the systems in which the Ap star has a rotation period that is shorter than 50 days is different from its distribution for those systems in which the rotation period of the Ap star is longer, at a confidence level of 99.6%. The shortest rotation and orbital periods are mutually exclusive: all but one of the non-synchronised systems that contain an Ap component with Prot<50d, have Porb>1000d. Stars with resolved magnetically split lines represent a significant fraction, of the order of several percent, of the whole population of Ap stars. Most of these stars are genuine slow rotators, whose consideration provides new insight into the long-period tail of the distribution of the periods of Ap stars. Emerging correlations between rotation periods and magnetic properties provide important clues for the understanding of the braking mechanisms that have been at play in the early stages of stellar evolution. The geometrical structures of the magnetic fields of Ap stars with magnetically resolved lines appear in general to depart slightly, but not extremely, from centred dipoles. However, there are a few remarkable exceptions, which deserve further consideration. Confirmation that pulsational crossover is indeed occurring at a detectable level would open the door to the study of non-radial pulsation modes of degree l, which is too high for photometric or spectroscopic observations. How the lack of short orbital periods among binaries containing an Ap component with magnetically resolved lines is related to their (extremely) slow rotation remains to be fully understood, but the very existence of a correlation between the two periods lends support to the merger scenario for the origin of Ap stars.

- Description:
- We present the results of speckle interferometry of a sample of 117 chemically peculiar stars with global magnetic fields. The observations were made in December 2009 at the BTA with a spatial resolution of about 0.02 arcseconds in the visual spectral region. Twenty-nine stars were resolved into individual components, 14 of them for the first time (HD965, HD5797, HD8855, HD10783, HD16605, HD21699, HD35502, HD51418, HD64486, HD79158, HD103498, HD108651, HD213918, HD293764). In twelve cases a companion turned out to be 2-4 magnitudes fainter than the main component - a magnetic star. Young hot Bp stars HD35502 and HD213918 are exceptions, since their companions are fainter by about 1 magnitude. In all cases, the linear distance from a star to its companion at the epoch of observations in the picture plane exceeded 10^9^km. Eighty-eight magnetic CP stars revealed no secondary components within our study. Thus, the fraction of speckle interferometric binaries in our sample amounts to 25%.

- Description:
- We present the results of speckle interferometric observations of 156 stars possessing global magnetic fields, carried out with the 6-m BTA telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory. Virtually all stars were observed between 2010 and 2012. Thirty-four stars were resolved into individual components (31 double and 3 triple), of which 14 binary systems (BD+41 43, HD2887, HD30466, HD36540, HD36955, HD37479, HD61045, HD89069, HD144334, HD164258, HD349321, HD343872, HD184471, HD196691) and 2 triple systems (HD37140, HD338226) were for the first time resolved by the astrometric method.
