A spectropolarimetric survey of the coolest magnetic Ap stars
Abstract
We describe the first results of a systematic spectropolarimetric survey of the coolest magnetic Ap stars, undertaken with the MuSiCoS spectropolarimeter, with the aim of clarifying the magnetic field and atmospheric characteristics of these enigmatic objects.
