\subsection{Magnetic fields in Extreme Starbursts}
\label{sub:oh_zeeman}
The star formation process is poorly understood due to the many dynamical components, over a large range of scales, that may play vital roles. One important constraint to understand how star formation occurs in a particular environment is the magnetic field XXX Ostriker \& McKee 07 XXX.
Since these regions of extreme star-formation are highly obscured (see above), OH mega-masers offer a unique look into the magnetic field properties through Zeeman splitting. OH is the only observed para-magnetic masing species \citep{Elitzur1992_text}, since the outer electron shell contains an unpaired electron. Galactic OH masers associated with HII regions are typically strongly circularly polarized, as is expected for a para-magnetic species with a fully resolved Zeeman pattern \citep{Elitzur1992_text}. Megamasers are not
