Description

Depending on the stellar mass, evolutionary phase, and interior structure, convection can be the source of stellar magnetism or be mutually exclusive with the presence of strong magnetic fields. In this talk, I will present an observational perspective on this highly nuanced relationship between stellar convection and magnetism. I will review observational evidence for the existence of magnetic fields on stellar surfaces and relate it to the convective behaviour of several interesting groups of main sequence stars.
