This is the first such detection of a magnetic field on a spectral class A star that is not an Ap chemically peculiar star.
Am star is a chemically peculiar star belonging to the more general class of A-type stars.
These chemically peculiar stars are termed helium-strong stars.
Other chemically peculiar B-types stars are mercury-manganese stars with spectral types B7-B9.
This is a magnetic, chemically peculiar star of the silicon type and it has a rapid rotation period of 17.5 hours.
On the detection of the first extragalactic classical chemically peculiar stars in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 371, L5 (2001).
This is catalogued as an Am star, which means it is a chemically peculiar star that shows strong indications of certain trace metals in its spectrum.
This is categorized as an Am star, meaning that it is a chemically peculiar.
In 1970, Georges Michaud suggested that such chemically peculiar stars arose from radiative diffusion.
Chemically peculiar stars (CP stars) are common among hot main sequence (hydrogen-burning) stars.
