| Abstract |
We obtained 13 spectropolarimetric observations of the strongly magnetic rapidly oscillating Ap star HD 154708 over 3 months with the multimode instrument FORS 1, installed at the 8-m Kueyen telescope of the Very Large Telescope. These observations have been used for the determination of the rotation period of P = 5.3666 +/- 0.0007 d. Using stellar fundamental parameters and the longitudinal magnetic field phase curve, we briefly discuss the magnetic field geometry. The star is observed nearly pole-on and the magnetic field geometry can be described by a centred dipole with a surface polar magnetic field strength B-d between 26.1 and 28.8 kG and an inclination of the magnetic axis to the rotation axis in the range 22 degrees.5 to 35 degrees.5.
