Scientific paper

Circular polarization measurements across the H beta profile of the
rapidly rotating star alpha Leonis reveal a Zeeman pattern redshifted by
5 A from the line centre. This result is consistent with a simple model
in which a magnetic spot was close to the receding limb at the time of
the observations.
