Abstract We present a spectropolarimetric magnetic snapshot survey of 55 stars which includes 53 F-type stars ranging from spectral types F0 to F9 plus 2 chemically peculiar stars β CrB, and δ Cap. We look for magnetic fields in stars spanning a range of effective temperatures where the transition from fossil to dynamo magnetic fields is believed to occur. High-resolution spectropolarimetry using circularly polarized spectra is used to look for a magnetic detection in the Stokes V profile, determine the mean longitudinal magnetic field (Bl), and to look for correlations with stellar parameters. Surface magnetic fields are detected on 14 F-stars, and present in every spectral class from F3V-F9V ranging in strength from 0.3 ± 0.1 G (36 UMa, F8V) to 8.3 ± 0.9 G (h Dra, F8V). Thus we find photospheric magnetic fields are present in stars as early as spectral type F3V with an outer convection zone thickness less than a few per cent of the stellar radius.

AbstractRival theories for the origin of the magnetic fields present in the CP stars are discussed, particular attention being paid to the claims of the ‘contemporary dynamo’ and ‘fossil’ theories. The internal structure of the field as predicted by calculations consistent with the fossil theory is discussed at length. It seems that current time dependent models can now give a coherent picture of the fields of the CP stars according to the fossil theory. Dynamo theory modelling has not been developed in such detail. As yet neither the theoretical predictions nor the observational material seem to be detailed enough to allow a decisive comparison between the theories.

The JD 16 was held on August 25, 1997 as one-day session with the title of “Spectroscopy with Large Telescope of Chemically Peculiar Stars”. It was supported by the Division IV and Commissions 14, 27, 29, 36, and 45.The members of SOC were: G. Alecian, J. Babel, M. Gerbaldi, R. O. Gray, G. Mathys, P. North, M. Takada-Hidai (Chairperson), and J. Zverko (Co-chairperson).15 talks and 18 contributed posters were presented on six topics of (1) model atmospheres and atomic data, (2) stellar parameters, (3) LTE and NLTE abundance analyses, (4) diffusion processes, (5) magnetic fields, and (6) variabilities. Approximate number of participants amounted to 50 at maximum.

The program of comprehensive investigations of stellar magnetism in the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the USSR AS includes the study of origin and evolution of the stellar magnetic fields in open clusters and associations of different age. In the papers by Borra (1981), Brown et al. (1981) and North and Cramer (1984) have been found some indications on the evolutionary decay of the fossil stellar fields.
