2. Ap stars Magnetic Ap/Bp stars Slow rotators Chemically peculiar Strong large scale MF (of fossil origin ?) Progenitors of magnetic white dwarves ? About 2-5 % of A-type stars A dozen of Ap star descendants inside D<100 pc from sun ? Could be outstanding magnetically active slow rotators

3. THE HISTORICAL CASE EK ERI = HR1362 (Stepien 1993) - G8 III-IV - Very magnetically active in X-rays (~10 30 ergs/s), CaII H&K in emission, photometric variability... - Slow rotator: Prot = 308.8 d - Suspected to be an Ap-star descendant - Rossby number ~ 2

7. EK ERI ZDI MAP A Dominant Magnetic Dipole

8. EK ERI : A DOMINANT MAGNETIC DIPOLE i = 60° beta = 45° Bmax = 200 G Axisymetry: 79 % Poloidal: 98% Dipolar: 90% Quadripolar : 6% magnetic/photometric spot = negative pole of the dipole = remnant from Ap-star dipole?

9. 14 CET : The Outstanding F Star F5IV Studied during 25 years by the HK survey (M cycle of 5 y?) Vsini < 4-5 km/s Zeeman detected : Bl~ -30 G Known magnetic F * : Fp or later than F7

15. Beta Ceti K0III M ~ 3M_sun During 1 st DUP Activity of a star of Prot about 50-60 d Prot ~ 120d

16. Beta Ceti : Bl variations 2010-2011 (Tsvetkova et al. 2012)

17. Beta Ceti Prot=128 d Tsvetkova et al. 2012 2010-2011 seasons

18. Beta Ceti : ZDI MAP (Tsvetkova et al. 2012) Prot = 128 d No Diff. Rot. i = 42° Pol. at 95% Dip. 62% Axi : 62% Bmean = 12 G

19. Ap STAR DESCENDANTS PRESENT STATUS OF OBSERVATIONS - CP wipped out - 3 stars with outstanding MF (2 with polo. topology) - Other active « slow rotators » have MF strength coherent with Prot (look to their MF topology) TO LOOK TO RG WITH VERY WEAK MF AND VERY LONG PERIODS

20. HISTOGRAM OF Prot

21. POLLUX : HD 62509 - K0 III - Pvrad = 589.64 d : hosted planet? - Weak X-ray luminosity (solar level)‏ - Rossby number ~ > 2 ?

25. SUN + FOSSIL MF Strugarek et al. 2011 Base of the CE : 0.72 R_sun Dipolar fossil MF buried deep in the radiative interior. The dipolar fossil MF spreads into the CE !
