Description
The magnetic field strength of Ap stars provides insight on the early stages of stellar evolution. Ap stars have stable magnetic fields theorized to have formed as a consequence of how they formed. In my research I determine the magnetic field strength of stars by resolving absorption line splitting with the Zeeman effect.
