We have surveyed about a hundred papers published in 2018 in the leading astronomical journals and related to the “Magnetic fields and physical parameters of chemically peculiar and related stars” subject area. We have considered new projects of telescopes and mounted instruments for them as well as the first results obtained with telescopes recently put into operation. We have reviewed new papers on observation methods, data reduction and analysis. Spectroscopic studies of peculiar stars: their chemical abundance and other parameters are presented in the paper. We continued conducting both classical ground-based photometric observations and high-accuracy photometry with space telescopes. Our survey pays the most attention to magnetic fields of stars. We present observations of large-scale fields of OBA stars and local fields of cool active stars. Dozens new magnetic stars have been discovered. We also consider here some observations of magnetic white dwarfs and exoplanets which are of interest within the issue under study.

化学奇特和相关恒星的磁场。5，2018年主要成果及未来展望

我们调查了2018年在领先的天文学杂志上发表的与“化学特有和相关恒星的磁场和物理参数”主题领域有关的约100篇论文。我们考虑了望远镜的新项目和为其安装的仪器，以及最近投入使用的望远镜获得的首批成果。我们已经审查了有关观测方法，数据缩减和分析的新论文。本文介绍了特殊恒星的光谱研究：它们的化学丰度和其他参数。我们继续使用太空望远镜进行经典的地面测光观测和高精度测光。我们的调查最关注恒星的磁场。我们介绍了OBA恒星的大尺度场和凉爽活跃恒星的局部场的观测结果。已经发现了数十个新的磁性恒星。在这里，我们还将考虑对磁性白矮星和系外行星的一些观测，这在所研究的问题中很有意义。
