[en] Our recent studies of HD 11753, a late B-type star showing a HgMn peculiarity for the first time revealed the presence of a fast dynamical evolution of chemical spots on the surface of this chemically peculiar early-type star. These observations suggest a hitherto unknown physical process operating in stars with outer radiative envelopes. Furthermore, we have also discovered existence of magnetic fields on HgMn stars that were up to now considered non-magnetic. Here we will discuss the dynamical spot evolution in HD 11753 in detail, and also summarize our new results on the magnetic fields of the AR Aur binary system.
