Catalog of averaged magnetic phase curves of stars

TL;DR

This paper presents an updated catalog of averaged magnetic phase curves for 275 stars, emphasizing improved measurement accuracy and its utility for statistical and theoretical analysis of stellar magnetic behavior.

Contribution

The catalog provides a comprehensive, uniformly processed dataset of magnetic phase curves for various star types, including detailed data on 182 Ap Bp stars, facilitating advanced analysis.

Findings

Significant increase in measurement accuracy of stellar magnetic fields.

The catalog enables statistical analysis of magnetic variability across star types.

Provides a foundation for testing theoretical models of stellar magnetism.

Abstract

The second version of the catalog contains information about 275 stars of different types. During the time that has elapsed since the creation of the first catalog, situation fundamentally changed primarily due to the significant increase of accuracy of magnetic fields (MF) measurements. Up to now global magnetic field were discoverd and measured in stars of many types and their behavior partially was studied. Magnetic behavior of Ap Bp stars is the most thoroughly studied. The catalog contains information about 182 such objects. The main goals for the construction of the catalog are: 1. Review and summarize our kowledge about magnetic behavior of different types of stars. 2. The whole data are uniformly presented and processed which will allow one to perform statistical analysis of the variability of the (longitudinal) magnetic fields of stars. 3. The informations are presented in the most convenient form for testing different theoretical models of different kind. 4. The catalog will be useful for the development of observational programs.
