Evidence for a Complex Distribution of Magnetic Field Strengths on the Flare Star AD Leo
Abstract
I present a preliminary analysis of four Ti I lines from a high S/N IR spectrum of the flare star AD Leo. The lines show consistent evidence for a complex magnetic field distribution, and may be fit with either (a) fields arising from a single atmospheric component but having a large vertical gradient, or (b) a two component field with B_1 ~ 2 x B_2.
