Abstract: | We present the results of our new spectropolarimetric observations of FKCom aimed to measure the longitudinal component B z of its magnetic field. The most interesting interpretation of our results suggests that the B z value has significantly decreased compared to the 2008 observations of this star. Such a decrease of the longitudinal component of the magnetic field can be similar to the secular variations of B z registered earlier for another chromospherically active star II Peg. On the other hand, assuming the existence of B z variations with the rotation phase, we suggest that the variations of the phase curve B z from 2008 to 2012 originated because of the strengthening of the negative polarity spot, its domination, and as a result-a generally more symmetric distribution of magnetic regions. |
