Scientific paper

A search has been conducted for longitudinal magnetic fields in several classical Cepheids, using a multislit photoelectric magnetometer capable of attaining precision an order of magnitude better than previous instruments. The technique used in the search represents an improvement of the procedure used by Borra and Landstreet (1973). A template with several slits matching the stellar spectrum has been used, instead of a unique slit and one line. The obtained observational data regarding the classical Cepheids are presented in a table. Several observations of the brightest Cepheids visible from the Northern Hemisphere have been listed. On the basis of an evaluation of the data, it is concluded that Cepheids, as a class, have weak magnetic fields that usually have longitudinal components of the order of few tens of gauss.
