The giant planets Jupiter and Saturn both have strong fields; Saturn’s field is unusual for its high degree of axisymmetry; in table 1.1 we note that the inclination of Saturn’s dipole field is less than one degree from its rotation axis. A possible theoretical explanation has been given by Stevenso ...

(see Hillenbrand 1997; Figure 3.3) The most massive stars (the Trapezium-like stars) are very hot, and thus emit UV photons able to strongly ionize their immediate environment. The disks of the less massive stars then tend also to be ionize ...
