Scientific paper

High resolution spectroscopy of photospheric absorption lines, particularly in the infrared, reveals the presence of magnetic fields on T Tauri stars. High resolution circular spectropolarimetry provides strong constraints on the geometry of the large scale stellar magnetic fields believed to play a crucial role in controlling accretion onto, and winds from, these stars. We review the latest measurements of T Tauri magnetic fields, which show convincing evidence that stellar magnetic fields do control accretion onto the star. We then compare the measurements with expectations from theory.
