AbstractSemi-empirical atmospheric modeling is here used to obtain the chromospheric magnetic field distribution versus height in the K2 primary component of the RS CVn binary system HR 7428. The chromospheric magnetic field estimation versus height comes from considering the possibility of not imposing hydrostatic equilibrium in the atmospheric modeling. The stability of the best Non-hydrostatic equilibrium model, implies the presence of and additive (toward the center of the star) pressure, that decrease in strength from the base of the chromosphere toward the outer layers. Interpreting the additive pressure as magnetic pressure and I derive a magnetic field intensity of about 500 Gauss at the base of the chromosphere.
