%We show (see supplementary material) that  The fraction of stars showing suppressed dipole modes in the sample of \citet{Mosser_2011} is about $22\%$, suggesting that red giants with magnetized cores are not just the descendants of magnetic Ap stars, which comprise less than $\sim \! 10 \%$ of A type stars \citep{Wolff_1968}. A detailed analysis of a large population of red giants with suppressed dipole modes will put strong constraints on the amplitude and evolution of internal magnetic fields in stars of different masses (Stello et al. in prep.).  The asteroseismic technique described in this paper can also be applied to red clump stars burning helium in their cores. Observations of dipole mode suppression (or lack thereof) in clump stars will also put important constraints on the internal magnetic fields of the immediate progenitors of white dwarfs (AuthorX dwarfs.  %(AuthorX  et al. In prep.).
