Abstract (from CDS):

We present the first investigation of the structure of the stellar surface magnetic field using line profiles in all four Stokes parameters. We extract the information about the magnetic field geometry and abundance distributions of the chemically peculiar star 53 Cam by modelling time-series of high-resolution spectropolarimetric observations with the help of a new magnetic Doppler imaging code. This combination of the unique four Stokes parameter data and state-of-the-art magnetic imaging technique makes it possible to infer the stellar magnetic field topology directly from the rotational variability of the Stokes spectra. In the magnetic imaging of 53 Cam we discard the traditional multipolar assumptions about the structure of magnetic fields in Ap stars and explore the stellar magnetic topology without introducing any global a priori constraints on the field structure. The complex magnetic model of 53 Cam derived with our magnetic Doppler imaging method achieves a good fit to the observed intensity, circular and linear polarization profiles of strong magnetically sensitive FeII spectral lines. Such an agreement between observations and model predictions was not possible with any earlier multipolar magnetic models, based on modelling Stokes I spectra and fitting surface averaged magnetic observables (e.g., longitudinal field, magnetic field modulus, etc.). Furthermore, we demonstrate that even the direct inversion of the four Stokes parameters of 53 Cam assuming a low-order multipolar magnetic geometry is incapable of achieving an adequate fit to our spectropolarimetric observations. Thus, as a main result of our investigation, we discover that the magnetic field topology of 53 Cam is considerably more complex than any low-order multipolar expansion, raising a general question about the validity of the multipolar assumption in the studies of magnetic field structures of Ap stars. In addition to the analysis of the magnetic field of 53 Cam, we reconstruct surface abundance distributions of Si, Ca, Ti, Fe and Nd. These abundance maps confirm results of the previous studies of 53 Cam, in particular dramatic antiphase variation of Ca and Ti abundances.

within arcsec The VizieR photometry tool allows for easy visualization of photometry points extracted around the Simbad position from photometry-enabled catalogues in VizieR.
The search radius has to be specified by the user. It is currently limited to a maximum of 30 arcsec. It depends mostly on the precision or quality of the coordinates (SIMBAD and VizieR catalogs), the resolution of the images from which the sources were extracted, source extent, and source crowding.
Suggestions are: crowded field: 0.5 to 1.5 arcsec, 3 arcsec otherwise; uncertain coordinates (SIMBAD quality E or coordinates without reference): 5 to 30 arsec (risky!).
