for the first time, astrophysicists are able to determine the presence of strong magnetic fields deep inside pulsating giant stars.
A consortium of international researchers, including several from UC Santa Barbara’s Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP), used asteroseismology — a discipline similar to seismology — to track waves traveling through stars in order to determine their inner properties. Their findings appear in the journal Science.
