Abstract
We present the results of numerical experiments andreal applications of our new Magnetic Doppler Imaging code INVERS10. The code is capable of simultaneously reconstructing the surface distribution of magnetic fieldv ectors andone chemical element from a time sequence of line profles measuredin four Stokes parameters. The application of the code to a well studied magnetic Ap star α2CVn recovereda field distribution, resembling an oblique dipole with the strength and orientation consistent with those derived with other techniques.
