Observational constraints on stellar magnetic fields are essential to both stellar and planetary physics. Recent studies revealed the diversity and evolution of large-scale magnetic fields in low-mass stars. These large-scale fields only…
Low-mass stars are known to have magnetic fields that are believed to be of dynamo origin. Two complementary techniques are principally used to characterise them. Zeeman-Doppler imaging (ZDI) can determine the geometry of the large-scale…

Although indirect evidence for the presence of magnetic fields in high-mass stars is regularly reported in the literature, the detection of these fields remains an extremely challenging observational problem. We review the recent…

Linearly polarized, non-masing, rotational lines have been detected for the first time in the interstellar medium. This effect occurs in molecular clouds with a magnetic field, and traces the field direction, offering an alternative…
Magnetic fields in cool stars are ubiquitous but can still be challenging to characterize due to their complexity and relatively low strength. The polarization signature amplitudes are proportional to the field strength, and current studies…
