Abstract:
This "mini-conference" is an opportunity for solar physicists, stellar astronomers, dynamo theorists, and other interested parties to talk with each other about stellar magnetism. We will discuss how stellar magnetic fields are built, how we can observe them (and what those observations have told us), and how we can learn more.
