The enigmatic highly peculiar binary system HD 66051

2020, Paunzen, E., Niemczura, E., Kolaczek-Szymanski, P.A., Hubrig, S.

HD 66051 (V414 Pup) is an eclipsing and spectroscopic double-lined binary, hosting two chemically peculiar stars: a highly peculiar B star as pri-mary and an Am star as secondary. It also shows out-of-eclipse variability that is due to chemical spots. Using a set of high-resolution spectropolarimetric observations, a weak magnetic field on the primary was found. The investigation of the new high-resolution UVES spectrum of HD 66051 allowed us to decide on the chemical peculiarity type of both components with more reliability. © 2020 Astronomical Institute, Slovak Academy of Sciences.
