... The chemically peculiar star HD965 belongs to a rare type of very slow rotators. As far back as in the 90s, G.Mathys (ESO, Chile) supposed its extremely slow rotation as observing split Zeeman components in the spectrum, from which he measured the magnetic field on its surface. Field variation proved to be very slow, and G.Mathys determined that the variability period should be longer than two years. ... Up to now, only two stars with periods longer than 20 years are known. ...

... Discussions about options for introducing polarizing optics to the high resolution spectrometer NES, recently developed at the 6m telescope by V.Panchuk, have also been held. ... A strong double-peaked emission in the H-alpha line was found in 1985 and explained in terms of a rotating equatorial disk model, first proposed by Jones et al. (1993) for this object. ... Based on high resolution optical spectra we obtained in 1995, the effective temperature Teff=8500K has been estimated for IRC+10420. ...
