摘要
In recent years Herbig Ae/Be stars receive considerable attention as their discs are believed to be the sites of on-going planet formation. Confirming the presence of magnetic fields in these stars is critical for understanding the transport of angular momentum during the protostellar phase. Furthermore, magnetic fields set the conditions for strongly anisotropic accretion. In this study we present the results of our recent observing campaigns of a sample of Herbig Ae/Be stars aimed at measurements of their magnetic fields applying the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) method to high resolution spectropolarimetric observations. The strongest longitudinal magnetic field of 209G is detected in the Herbig Be star HD58647, whereas the weakest field of 17G is measured in the Herbig Ae star HD190073. A change of polarity is detected for HD58647 and in the Herbig Be star HD98922. The obtained results provide further evidence that Herbig Ae/Be stars possess much weaker magnetic fields than their lower mass counterpart T Tauri stars with magnetic fields of kG order.
