A very misinclined magnetic field: The case of the T Tauri star DK Tau

Wolk, ScottWe analyzed nine circularly polarized spectra of DK Tau (a classical T Tauri star), spanning over one rotation cycle and collected in 2010 with the spectropolarimeter ESPaDOnS (at the CFHT). We present a preliminary study of DK Tau's large-scale magnetic field configuration and the distribution of relative brightness across its surface, as well as the variability of its veiling (a signature of accretion). We find that the magnetic dipole is nearly perpendicular to the stellar rotation axis. We also find an anti-correlation of the veiling and the average magnetic field in the line-of-sight, Blos, showing the connection between the accretion and the magnetic field.
