Direct measurements of the stellar magnetic fields are based on the splitting of spectral lines into polarized Zeeman components. With few exceptions, Zeeman signatures are hidden in data noise and a number of methods have been developed to…

New magnetic Ap stars with split Zeeman components are presented. These stars were discovered from observations with the FEROS spectrograph at the ESO 2.2-m telescope. Fifteen new magnetic stars are analysed here. Several stars with very…

The measurement of Zeeman splitting in spectral lines---both in emission and absorption---can provide direct estimates of the magnetic field strength and direction in atomic and molecular clouds, both in our own Milky Way and in external…

Magnetic fields play a crucial role throughout stellar evolution, regulating angular momentum, channelling accretion, and launching jets and outflows. While the magnetic properties of Classical T Tauri Stars (CTTS) are well characterised,…
