Do all stars have magnetic fields ?
Abstract
The sun and other late-type stars have the ability to generate and maintain strong localized magnetic field regions on and above the stellar surface. Recent observational results strongly suggest that a much higher range of upper-main-sequence spectral types have appreciable surface magnetic fields. The data refer to stars of spectral types B, A, and F in eclipsing binary systems.
