Third, we hope to use additional time at KITP to examine the \textbf{occurrence of magnetic fields in cluster stars}. These stars have nearly identical ages and compositions and provide the perfect testbed to understand evolution of magnetic fields in a uniform population of stars. Red giant cluster stars exist in both Kepler data and recent and upcoming K2 fields,   with substantial data already secured by the team. These red giants are found in several clusters (of differing ages and metallicities) and can be used to understand the development of magnetic fields in different populations of stars.   As a fourth research topic (time permitting) we will try to \textbf{constrain the geometry of internal magnetic fields} in red giants with suppressed dipoles, usingdetails calculations of  the scattering properties of dipolar gravity waves on the magnetic fields.   \subsection{Proposing Team and Team Justification}
