Scientific paper

The spatial distribution of magnetic CP stars is studied using the catalog of CP stars compiled by the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is shown that the overwhelming majority of these objects are at distances closer than 500 pc from the sun. The axes of rotation and the magnetic axes of the field CP stars are distributed randomly, while a preferential orientation of the magnetic axes in certain directions is seen for stars that are members of open clusters. The closeness of the magnetic models for CP stars that are members of clusters may be evidence that there is a general factor which influences the origin of magnetic fields in stars. The magnetic field of the galaxy may be such a factor.
