The origins of the magnetic field in tip-RGB, AGB and post-AGB stars

International audience During the last decade and a half, the new generation spectropolarimeter Narval at Pic du Midi, France allowed the study of weak magnetic fields in cool giant stars that are fairly evolved after main sequence. We present a short summary on the recent knowledge on the magnetic...

Description
Summary:International audience During the last decade and a half, the new generation spectropolarimeter Narval at Pic du Midi, France allowed the study of weak magnetic fields in cool giant stars that are fairly evolved after main sequence. We present a short summary on the recent knowledge on the magnetic fields and activity in giants situated in the upper right part of the Hertzsprung-Russel (H-R) diagram and discuss on the possible mechanisms for magnetic field generation in the asymptotic giants branch (AGB) and post-AGB stars.
