Abstract
THE star HD215441 has the largest magnetic field ever recorded, about 34 Kgauss (ref. 1), varying without change of polarity. There are some indications of smooth brightness variations of this star with amplitude Δm≈0.2 mag as well as of small smooth variations of linear polarisation correlated with the brightness variation2–4.
