Carter, Brad (2011) Zeeman doppler imaging at the Anglo-Australian telescope. In: Celebrating the AAO: past, present and future. Australian Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, Canberra, Australia, pp. 196-199. ISBN 978-1-921916-04-5
Abstract
Zeeman Doppler Imaging (ZDI) is a technique in which stellar spectra taken in polarised light are analysed to reconstruct surface images of starspots and magnetic fields. ZDI is a European–Australian research collaboration that offers unique insight into stellar magnetic activity, and includes studies of young stars that provide proxies for understanding early solar history. ZDI has been a part of the AAT’s own history for two decades, a successful combination of niche science and instrumentation that is revealing the evolution of activity and dynamos in the Sun and other stars.
