Magnetic fields exist in many stars, including the sun. Yet they remain too poorly understood to be reliably included in stellar evolution models, limiting their accuracy. Now, a new study by researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, shows why a star's "criminal" evolutionary history may be crucial for correctly interpreting its internal magnetic fields.
