| Abstract: |
We report the results of 6 nights of Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope spectropolarimetric ESPaDOnS observations of the He-strong, magnetic B1 type star ALS 3694. The longitudinal magnetic field is approximately 2 kG in all 6 observations, showing essentially no variation between nights. The Hα line displays variable emission on all nights, peaking at high velocities (∼3v sin i). Given the presence of a strong (Bd>6 kG) magnetic field, and the similarity of the emission profile to that of other magnetic B-type stars, we interpret the emission as a consequence of a centrifugal magnetosphere. |
