Abstract

The magnetic fields of degenerate stars are discussed with emphasis on such basic issues as how their magnetic field strengths are determined, their origin, and evolution. The magnetic fields of both white dwarfs and neutron stars are discussed together, and it is speculated that the origin and evolution of their fields may be related. It is also suggested that it may be possible to apply and test models for the evolution of the magnetic fields in neutron stars by using white dwarfs and vice versa.
