Binary and multiple magnetic Ap/Bp stars

Abstract
We present the results of speckle interferometric observations of 273 magnetic stars most of which are Ap/Bp type. All observations were made at the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences. We resolved 58 binary and 5 triple stars into individual components. Almost half of these stars were astrometrically resolved for the first time. The fraction of speckle interferometric binaries/multiples in the sample of stars with confirmed magnetic fields is 23%. We expect that the total fraction of binaries/multiples in the sample with account for spectroscopic short-period systems and wide common proper motion pairs can be twice higher. The detected speckle components have a prominent peak in the ρ distribution that corresponds to the closest resolved pairs.
