Solar Magnetic Fields, Magnetic Fields: Solar-Type Stars

Scientific paper

Assuming that the sun is a normal star, the high resolution observations of solar magnetic fields may serve as a basic scaling of magnetic fields on solar-like stars in the aspects of intrinsic field strength, size spectrum, surface filling factor, nesting tendency, dipolar distribution and evolution time scale etc. In this paper, the author has reviewed the observational characteristics of solar magnetic fields in these aspects which are relevant to stellar magnetic field measurements. The comparison between the current results for solar-like stars and well-established pictures for the sun shows that the intrinsic field strength for solar-like stars is quite close to that of solar magnetic field, however, the surface filling factors for stars are 1 to 2 orders greater than that for the solar case.
