Ap stars are peculiar in many aspects. During this century astronomers have been trying to collect data about these and have found a confusing variety of peculiar behaviour even from star to star that Struve stated in 1942 that at least we know that these phenomena are not supernatural. A real push to start deeper theoretical work on Ap stars was given by an additional observational evidence, namely the discovery of magnetic fields on these stars by Babcock (1947). This originated the concept that magnetic fields are the cause for spectroscopic and photometric peculiarities. Great leaps for the astronomical mankind were the Oblique Rotator model by Stibbs (1950) and Deutsch (1954), which by the way provided mathematical tools for the later handling pulsar geometries, anti the discovery of phase coincidence of the extrema of magnetic field, spectrum and photometric variations (e.g. Jarzebowski, 1960).

In this paper, we investigate nonlocal correlation (beyond entanglement) captured by measurement induced nonlocality and geometric quantum discord for a pair of interacting spin-1/2 particles at thermal equilibrium. It is shown that both the measures are identical in measuring the correlation. We show that nonlocal correlation between the spins exist even without entanglement and the correlation vanishes only for maximal mixture of product bases. We also observe that while interaction between the spins is responsible for enhancement of correlation, this non-classicality decreases with the intervention of external magnetic field.

We suggest that the electron density and temperature of a plasma could be determined by immersing two small dipole antennae in it, and by measuring, as a function of frequency, the cross-spectrum of the random signals that they receive. When the plasma is in thermal equilibrium, this spectrum is related simply, by Nyquist's theorem, to the real part of the mutual impedance of the two antennae. We have studied the case where, in addition, the plasma is collisionless and no magnetic field is present. The spectrum has a main resonance peak slightly above the plasma frequency, while for still higher frequencies it exhibits oscillations, the amplitudes of which decrease as one moves away from the plasma frequency. The main resonance peak becomes sharper, but smaller, as the distance between the antennae becomes large compared with the Debye length.

Those solutions which have so far been obtained to the problem of a star with both rotation and a magnetic field have been for certain special cases, mostly time-independent. It is known that, except for stars with special rotation laws, a rotating star in hydrostatic equilibrium cannot maintain thermal equilibrium without generating slow meridional circulation of matter. It is also known that an axially symmetric field with no azimuthal component tends very strongly to keep the star in a state of isorotation, with the angular velocity constant along field lines. A magnetic field also tends to upset thermal equilibrium and produce meridional circulation. In the absence of rotation, an equilibrium poloidal field has recently been found for which there is no circulation. The present paper reports analogous equilibrium solutions for a star which is in uniform rotation.

A one-dimensional model with no magnetic field is considered. It is supposed that the plasma starts in thermal equilibrium and then a current is forced to grow. Instability leads to the growth of waves, which are shown to stir the distribution in phase space, but only over a limited range of velocity. It is concluded that in order to restore stability the energy in the wave must become comparable to the energy of drift.

The exact fermionic four-level system is studied in the presence of time-dependent magnetic field. The system is considered under two initial conditions: general initial vector state, and, at thermal equilibrium. The exact time evolution of one-particle operators is derived.
