Abstract
Magnetic fields play a key role in the pulsations of rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) stars since they are a necessary in- gredient of all pulsation excitation mechanisms proposed so far. This implies that the proper understanding of the seismological behaviour of the roAp stars requires knowledge of their magnetic fields. However, the magnetic fields of the roAp stars are not well studied. Here we present new results of measurements of the mean longitudinal field of 14 roAp stars obtained from low resolution spectropolarimetry with FORS 1 at the VLT.
