Here, we report low-temperature magnetic properties of the rare-earth perovskite material

{YbAlO}_{3}

. Results of elastic and inelastic neutron scattering experiment, magnetization measurements along with the crystalline electrical field (CEF) calculations, indicate that the ground state of Yb moments is a strongly anisotropic Kramers doublet, and the moments are confined in the ab plane, pointing at an angle of φ=±23.5° to the $$a$$ axis. With temperature decreasing below T_N=0.88 K, Yb moments order into the coplanar but noncollinear antiferromagnetic (AFM) structure $AxGy$, where the moments are pointed along their easy axes. In addition, we highlight the importance of the dipole-dipole interaction, which selects the type of magnetic ordering and may be crucial for understanding magnetic properties of other rare-earth orthorhombic perovskites. Further analysis of the broad diffuse neutron scattering shows that one-dimensional interaction along the c axis is dominant and implies

{YbAlO}_{3}

as a new member of one-dimensional quantum magnets.
