A polarity reversal in the large-scale magnetic field of the rapidly rotating Sun HD 190771

P. Petit, B. Dintrans, A. Morgenthaler +5

Aims. We investigate the long-term evolution of the large-scale photospheric magnetic field geometry of the solar-type star HD 190771. With fundamental parameters very close to tho…

The open cluster Berkeley 53

G. Maciejewski, B. Mihov, Ts. Georgiev

We present a photometric study of the neglected open cluster Berkeley 53. We derived its fundamental parameters, such as the age, the interstellar reddening, and the distance from…

The GASP-WEBT monitoring of 3C 454.3 during the 2008 optical-to-radio and gamma-ray outburst

M. Villata, C. M. Raiteri, M. A. Gurwell +6

Since 2001, the radio quasar 3C 454.3 has undergone a period of high optical activity, culminating in the brightest optical state ever observed, during the 2004-2005 outburst. The…

Discovery of a weak magnetic field in the photosphere of the single giant Pollux

M. Auriere, G. A. Wade, R. Konstantinova-Antova +11

Aims: We observe the nearby, weakly-active single giant, Pollux, in order to directly study and infer the nature of its magnetic field. Methods: We used the new generation spectrop…

Lithium and magnetic fields in giants. HD 232862 : a magnetic and lithium-rich giant star

A. Lèbre, A. Palacios, J. D. do Nascimento +5

We report the detection of an unusually high lithium content in HD 232862, a field giant classified as a G8II star, and hosting a magnetic field. With the spectropolarimeters ESPaD…
