Important results of magnetic CP star research in the last decade from photometric and spectroscopic observations are discussed. Hipparcos parallaxes confirm CP stars are Main Sequence stars. Photometric monitoring of the rapidly rotating stars provides evidences for the rotational braking on the Main Sequence. High signal-to-noise spectra with high resolution and time-resolution give strong support for chemical separation processes operating in stellar atmospheres (abundance stratification). There are also observational evidences for the departure of the temperature structure of cool CP star atmospheres from that for normal stars.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
