Surface magnetic fields are routinely measured in stars. However internal magnetic fields are inaccessible to direct observations and very little is known about their amplitude, geometry and evolution.
%A fraction of main-sequence A stars shows strong surface magnetic fields (Ap stars).
%Ap stars have large scale, predominantly dipolar magnetic fields that show little or no time evolution and %amplitudes in the range 0.3-30kG.
In this paper we demonstrate that a strong magnetic field in the core of red giant stars can suppress the amplitude of dipolar oscillation modes. Suppressed dipolar modes are indeed observed in a fraction of ascending RGB stars, and we
identify interpret these as stars with strongly magnetized cores. We
are able to put strong constraints place lower limits on the
amplitude of the internal magnetic
fields field strength in stars with suppressed dipolar modes. The inferred
values, together with the observed fraction, suggests that some of magnetic fields indicate these stars
could be are the descendants of magnetic Ap
stars. stars, or hosted a powerful core dynamo during the main sequence. The novel asteroseismic technique reported here allows
to constrain for
the first time the constraints on magnetic
field fields in the deep interiors of a large population of stars.
