Spectropolarimetric study of the classical Cepheid η Aql: pulsation and magnetic field
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 February 2014
Abstract
We report the results of spectropolarimetric study of the classical Cepheid η Aql. We found that the longitudinal magnetic field of η Aql sinusoidally varies with the radial pulsation period, while the amplitude B, mean field B0, and phases of maximum and minimum field change from year to year. We hypothesize that possible reasons of those variations are stellar axial rotation or dynamo mechanisms.
