Method evidence record

Zeeman-Doppler Imaging

Zeeman-Doppler imaging is a technique for reconstructing stellar magnetic field maps by combining Doppler broadening of spectral lines with the Zeeman splitting caused by magnetic fields. Pioneered by Jean-Francois Donati in the 1990s, this method reveals how magnetic fields are distributed on stellar surfaces and how they evolve with time.
