Scientific paper

High-S/N, phase-distributed circular polarisation spectra of the variable HgMn star α And provide no evidence of any photospheric magnetic field, with an upper limit for oblique dipolar fields of 280 G (approximately the equipartition field at log τ5000 = 0.0). We therefore propose that the variability of the Hg λ3984 line and the inferred nonuniform distribution of Hg (reported by Adelman et al. 2002) most plausibly result from a separation mechanism unrelated to the presence of a magnetic field.
