We present the results of a study of the star HD 34736. The spectropolarimetric observations carried out at the 6-m telescope showed the presence of a strong variable longitudinal magnetic field, exceeding -4500 G. The analysis of the HIPPARCOS photometry gives a set of possible periods of the brightness variability of the star, of which 0.3603 days is preferred. The variable radial velocity of spectral lines of the star and some signatures of lines of at least one other component show that HD 34736 is a double short-period system. Modeling of the spectra allowed us to estimate the effective temperature $T_{eff}$ of the stars (13 700 and 11 500 K) and their projected rotational velocities $vsin i$ (73 and $geq90$ km s$^{-1}$). The analysis of all the available information about the star allows us to hypothesize that the object of study is a close, possibly interacting binary system.

HD 144941 is an extreme He (EHe) star, a rare class of subdwarf OB star formed from the merger of two white dwarf (WD) stars. Uniquely amongst EHe stars, its light curve has been reported to be modulated entirely by rotation, suggesting the presence
of a magnetic field. Here we report the first high-resolution spectropolarimetric observations of HD 144941, in which we detect an extremely strong magnetic field both in circular polarization (with a line-of-sight magnetic field averaged over the stellar disk $langle B_z rangle sim -8$ kG) and in Zeeman splitting of spectral lines (yielding a magnetic modulus of $langle B rangle sim 17$ kG). We also report for the first time weak H$alpha$ emission consistent with an origin an a Centrifugal Magnetosphere (CM). HD 144941s atmospheric parameters could be consistent with either a subdwarf or a main sequence (MS) star, and its surface abundances are neither similar to other EHe stars nor to He-strong magnetic stars. However, its H$alpha$ emission properties can only be reproduced if its mass is around 1 M$_odot$, indicating that it must be a post-MS object. Since there is no indication of binarity, it is unlikely to be a stripped star, and was therefore most likely produced in a WD merger. HD 144941 is therefore further evidence that mergers are a viable pathway for the generation of fossil magnetic fields.
We report the detection of a strong, reversing magnetic field and variable H-alpha emission in the bright helium-weak star HD 176582 (HR 7185). Spectrum, magnetic and photometric variability of the star are all consistent with a precisely determined
period of 1.5819840 +/- 0.0000030 days which we assume to be the rotation period of the star. From the magnetic field curve, and assuming a simple dipolar field geometry, we derive a polar field strength of approximately 7 kG and a lower limit of 52 degrees for the inclination of the rotation axis. However, based on the behaviour of the H-alpha emission we adopt a large inclination angle of 85 degrees and this leads to a large magnetic obliquity of 77 degrees. The H-alpha emission arises from two distinct regions located at the intersections of the magnetic and rotation equators and which corotate with the star at a distance of about 3.5 R* above its surface. We estimate that the emitting regions have radial and meridional sizes on the order of 2 R* and azimuthal extents (perpendicular to the magnetic equator) of less than approximately 0.6 R*. HD 176582 therefore appears to show many of the cool magnetospheric phenomena as that displayed by other magnetic helium-weak and helium-strong stars such as the prototypical helium-strong star sigma Ori E. The observations are consistent with current models of magnetically confined winds and rigidly-rotating magnetospheres for magnetic Bp stars.
We report the detection of a strong, organized magnetic field in the secondary component of the massive O8III/I+O7.5V/III double-lined spectroscopic binary system HD 47129 (Plasketts star), in the context of the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) sur
vey. Eight independent Stokes $V$ observations were acquired using the ESPaDOnS spectropolarimeter at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and the Narval spectropolarimeter at the Telescope Bernard Lyot. Using Least-Squares Deconvolution we obtain definite detections of signal in Stokes $V$ in 3 observations. No significant signal is detected in the diagnostic null ($N$) spectra. The Zeeman signatures are broad and track the radial velocity of the secondary component; we therefore conclude that the rapidly-rotating secondary component is the magnetized star. Correcting the polarized spectra for the line and continuum of the (sharp-lined) primary, we measured the longitudinal magnetic field from each observation. The longitudinal field of the secondary is variable and exhibits extreme values of $-810pm 150$ G and $+680pm 190$ G, implying a minimum surface dipole polar strength of $2850pm 500$ G. In contrast, we derive an upper limit ($3sigma$) to the primarys surface magnetic field of 230 G. The combination of a strong magnetic field and rapid rotation leads us to conclude that the secondary hosts a centrifugal magnetosphere fed through a magnetically confined wind. We revisit the properties of the optical line profiles and X-ray emission - previously interpreted as a consequence of colliding stellar winds - in this context. We conclude that HD 47129 represents a heretofore unique stellar system - a close, massive binary with a rapidly rotating, magnetized component - that will be a rich target for further study.
HD 98088 is a synchronised, double-lined spectroscopic binary system with a magnetic Ap primary component and an Am secondary component. We study this rare system using high-resolution MuSiCoS spectropolarimetric data, to gain insight into the effect
of binarity on the origin of stellar magnetism and the formation of chemical peculiarities in A-type stars. Using a new collection of 29 high-resolution Stokes VQU spectra we re-derive the orbital and stellar physical parameters and conduct the first disentangling of spectroscopic observations of the system to conduct spectral analysis of the individual stellar components. From this analysis we determine the projected rotational velocities of the stars and conduct a detailed chemical abundance analysis of each component using both the SYNTH3 and ZEEMAN spectrum synthesis codes. The surface abundances of the primary component are typical of a cool Ap star, while those of the secondary component are typical of an Am star. We present the first magnetic analysis of both components using modern data. Using Least-Squares Deconvolution, we extract the longitudinal magnetic field strength of the primary component, which is observed to vary between +1170 and -920 G with a period consistent with the orbital period. There is no field detected in the secondary component. The magnetic field in the primary is predominantly dipolar, with the positive pole oriented approximately towards the secondary.
We present high angular resolution observations of the Class 0 protostar IRAM04191+1522, using the Submillimeter Array (SMA). The SMA 1.3 mm continuum images reveal within IRAM04191+1522 two distinct sources with an angular separation of 7.8,$pm$,0.2
$$. The two continuum sources are located in the southeast-northwest direction, with total gas masses of about 0.011 M_sun and about 0.005 M_sun, respectively. The southeastern source, associated with an infrared source seen in the Spitzer images, is the well-known Class 0 protostar with a bolometric luminosity of about 0.08 L_sun. The newly-discovered northwestern continuum source is not visible in the Spitzer images at wavelengths from 3.6 to 70 micron, and has an extremely low bolometric luminosity (< 0.03 L_sun). Complementary IRAM N2H+(1-0) data that probe the dense gas in the common envelope suggest that the two sources were formed through the rotational fragmentation of an elongated dense core. Furthermore, comparisons between IRAM04191+1522 and other protostars suggest that most cores with binary systems formed therein have ratios of rotational energy to gravitational energy $beta_{rm rot}$ > 1%. This is consistent with theoretical simulations and indicates that the level of rotational energy in a dense core plays an important role in the fragmentation process.
