Note that the Landé factor of the upper level of 348#348 349#349 is known to an accuracy better than 0.009: that is, the uncertainty that it introduces in the field measurements does not exceed 0.3%.

...Sect. 4

The use of 369#369 to characterize the strength of the magnetic field of the studied stars, even when the phase coverage achieved with the presently available observations is incomplete, is justified by the fact that the relative amplitudes of variation of the mean field modulus of most stars are small (see below).

That is, provided that the sum of the angles i (between the stellar rotation axis and the line of sight) and 408#408 (between the magnetic and rotation axes) is greater than 90409#409.

...moments

Note also that the curves of variation of the longitudinal field of HD 81009 and of HD 126515 are not symmetric about their extrema, although the field modulus curves of those stars have that symmetry (see Sects. 5.15 and 5.22).
