Abstract (from CDS):

It has been shown that during the burst of accretion activity observed in UX Ori-type star RZ Psc in 2013, the accretion rate increased approximately by an order of magnitude. This means that the accretion process at the late stages of the pre-main sequence evolution is very unstable. Using the spectra obtained during this episode, we have studied the magnetospheric emission in the H α line. Models of magnetospheric accretion are calculated to obtain the parameters of the magnetosphere from this observation. In this work, we have taken into account the influence of the recombination delay effect during gas motion in the stellar magnetosphere. The accounting for this effect and the presence of the magnetospheric absorption in the IR Ca II triplet lines and its absence in D Na I resonance lines allowed us to place a lower limit on the temperature in the magnetosphere at $\approx 10\, 000$ K, which significantly improved precision of our estimate of accretion rate. According to the best-fitting model, the logarithm of accretion rate is $\log \dot{M} = -10.1\pm 0.3$ ($\dot{M} \approx 7\times 10^{-11}\ \mathrm{M_\odot \, yr^{-1}}$) and the inclination angle of RZ Psc is 43° ± 3°. It is less than the inclination, typical for the UX Ori stars (about 70°), that explains the weak photometric variability of this star. Using the obtained accretion rate and magnetosphere radius, we estimate the strength of the dipole component of the magnetic field of RZ Psc ≈ 0.1 kGs.
