Magnetic Stars, 2011, pp. ... Since the discovery of spectral variations in the Hg II line of the star And, a few other HgMn stars have been reported to present line profile variations. In this work we present preliminary results of a study of spectral variability in 28 single­lined HgMn stars. Using between two and six spectra per star, obtained with the FEROS spectrograph of the ESO, we quantitatively analyze the line profile variations for various chemical elements. ...
