Abstract
The magnetic Ap star 53 Cam has been described as the best object for testing theories of elemental diffusion in the presence of a stellar m agnetic field. It is thus vital to determine the rotational period of this very important star as accurately as possible. An improved period (8.02681 +/- 0.00004 d) is derived here by combining new measurements of the effective magnetic field with previously published values. (C) 1998 RAS.
