摘要
High signal-to-noise ratio circular polarization measurements in the wings of Hβ have been obtained for the bright A0pCr star ∈ UMa, throughout its 5d.0887 rotation period. These data suggest that ∈ UMa possesses an approximately dipolar magnetic field with magnetic extrema of +128 and -64 G. If the inclination of the rotation axis of the star is in the range i = 65° ± 15°, then the obliquity of the magnetic field axis to the rotation axis is between 19° and 84°. The observations are compared with recent Doppler imaging studies of the surface abundances of ∈ UMa.
