Abstract

The positions in the H-R diagram of strongly magnetic Ap and Bp stars are compared with those of normal main sequence stars of types B7 to F2, with a view to investigating possible differences in evolutionary status between magnetic and non-magnetic stars. The normal B7-F2 stars fill the whole width of the main sequence band with some concentration towards the ZAMS, whereas the magnetic stars are only rarely found close to either the zero-age or terminal-age sequences.
