| Description | Our search for periodicities resulted in P = 0.693 d for HD 97048, P = 1.317 d for HD 150193, and P = 0.899 d for HD 176386. The magnetic field geometry can likely be described by a centred dipole with a polar magnetic field strength Bd of several hundred Gauss. The longitudinal magnetic-field measurements of MWC 480 reveal the presence of a strong kG field, which was undetected in our previous low-resolution polarimetric observations with FORS 1. |
