  The magnetic moments of the negative parity octet resonances with spin {1/2}:
$N^*$(1535), $N^*$(1650), $\Sigma^*$(1620), and $\Xi^*$(1690) have been
calculated within the framework of the chiral constituent quark model. In this
approach, the presence of the polarized $q\bar{q}$ pairs (or the meson cloud,
in other words) is considered by using the Lagrangian for Goldstone boson
emission from the constituent quarks. Further, the explicit contributions
coming from the spin and orbital angular momentum, including the effects of the
configurations mixing between the states with different spins, are obtained.
The motivation for these calculations comes from the recent interest in
experimental measurement of the magnetic moment of the ${S_{11}(1535)}$
resonance and of similar calculations being done within lattice quantum
chromodynamics approaches. Our results can be compared with those expected to
come from these sources.
