We present constraints on the structure of the chromosphere from observations of the Ca II H line profile near and off the solar limb. We obtained a data set of the Ca II H line in a field of view extending 20" across the limb. We analyzed…

Magnetic chemically peculiar (mCP) stars are strongly magnetic upper main-sequence stars that exhibit light rotational variability due to an uneven surface distribution of certain peculiar elements, which may appear in phase at certain…

It is shown that the dielectronic satellites (DES) dominate X-ray spectral formation in the 6.7 keV K-alpha complex of Fe XXV at temperatures below that of maximum abundance in collisional ionization equilibrium T_m. Owing to their extreme…

We present a set of Roche tomography reconstructions of the secondary stars in the cataclysmic variables AM Her, QQ Vul, IP Peg and HU Aqr. The image reconstructions show distinct asymmetries in the irradiation pattern for all four systems…

The spectral and magnetic properties and variability of the B2Vnp emission-line magnetosphere star HR7355 were analyzed. The object rotates at almost 90% of the critical value, meaning it is a magnetic star for which oblateness and gravity…

The magnetic cataclysmic variable AE Aquarii hosts a rapidly rotating white dwarf which is thought to expel most of the material streaming onto it. Observations of AE Aqr have been obtained in the wavelength range of 5 - 70 microns with the…

For early type magnetic stars slow, at most moderate rotational velocities have been considered an observational fact. The detection of a multi-kilogauss magnetic field in the B2Vpn star with P approx. 0.52d and v sin approx. 300km/s has…
