... 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. ...

We present the results of an extensive observing campaign on the O7.5 III star xi Persei. The UV observations were obtained with the International Ultraviolet Explorer. xi Per was monitored continuously in October 1994 during 10 days at ultraviolet and visual wavelengths. The ground-based optical observations include magnetic field measurements, HЮБ and He I lambda 6678 spectra, and were partially covered by photometry and polarimetry. ...

Geomagnetic disturbances can be monitored by ground-based magnetic observatories recording the three magnetic field components. The global Kp index is obtained as the mean value of the disturbance levels in the two horizontal field components, observed at 13 selected, subauroral stations . ... Geomagnetic activity is the occurrence of K variations. ... But K still remains a local index, describing disturbances in the vicinity of each observatory. ...

GEOMAGNETIC POLAR CAP (PC) INDEX The PC-index is a fifteen-minute index for magnetic activity in the (P)olar (C)ap. It is based on data from a single nearpolar station, and aimed to monitor the polar cap magnetic activity generated by such solar wind parameters as the southward component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), the azimuthal component of the IMF (By), and the solar wind velocity (v). ... 1988), Vennerstrom (1991), and Vennerstrom et al. 1991). ...
