- ItemSearching for Magnetospheres around Herbig Ae/Be Stars(Basel : MDPI, 2021) Pogodin, Mikhail; Drake, Natalia; Beskrovnaya, Nina; Pavlovskiy, Sergei; Hubrig, Swetlana; Schöller, Markus; Järvinen, Silva; Kozlova, Olesya; Alekseev, IlyaWe describe four different approaches for the detection of magnetospheric accretion among Herbig Ae/Be stars with accretion disks. Studies of several unique objects have been carried out. One of the objects is the Herbig Ae star HD 101412 with a comparatively strong magnetic field. The second is the early-type Herbig B6e star HD 259431. The existence of a magnetosphere in these objects was not recognized earlier. In both cases, a periodicity in the variation of some line parameters, originating near the region of the disk/star interaction, has been found. The third object is the young binary system HD 104237, hosting a Herbig Ae star and a T Tauri star. Based on the discovery of periodic variations of equivalent widths of atmospheric lines in the spectrum of the primary, we have concluded that the surface of the star is spotted. Comparing our result with an earlier one, we argue that these spots can be connected with the infall of material from the disk onto the stellar surface through a magnetosphere. The fourth example is the Herbig Ae/Be star HD 37806. Signatures of magnetospheric accretion in this object have been identified using a different method. They were inferred from the short-term variability of the He I λ5876 line profile forming in the region of the disk/star interaction.
