Our recent work has just been published in A&A! We developed a retrieval framework for the large-scale magnetic fields of objects emitting radio bursts driven by the electron cyclotron maser (ECM) instability. We applied it to the brown dwarf J0623, and found that it has a large magnetic obliquity!

I had a nice chat recently with @astrojonny.bsky.social about hints of star-planet interactions on YZ Ceti, and what we can learn from them about exoplanetary magnetic fields. Check out the article below featuring some amazing illustrations that I will be stealing for future talks!

New observations of a faraway rocky world that might have its own magnetic field could help astronomers understand the seemingly haphazard magnetic fields swaddling our solar system’s planets.
