... A method to detect non-radial pulsations of CP stars is suggested. ... The opportunity is noted to get an information on spatial structure of non-radial oscillations from the analysis of radial velocities of chemical element lines, concentrated in the spots. To detect and identify the modes of non-radial oscillations of average grades it is suggested to use the methods of line profile analysis applying thee to the lines observed in the local spots on the stellar surface. ...

... Because of the low conductivity, the magnetic coupling is weak and depends critically on density, temperature, ionisation rate and charged species. ... Implications When the Hall regime dominates near the midplane and ambipolar diffusion is dominant closer to the surface, a thicker layer of the disc is unstable to MRI perturbations and modes grow faster than under the ambipolar diffusion approximation. ... Right panel: For weak coupling, Hall limit perturbations grow until vA/cs ~ 2.9. ...
