Abstract

Abstract Zeeman Doppler Imaging (ZDI) is a powerful tool for characterizing the strength and topology of stellar magnetic fields. In this research note, we present a new way to visualize the typical results from ZDI for an ensemble of stars, addressing some of the concerns with the standard “confusogram” approach to illustrating the data. Our publicly available plotting methods further enable an accessible means to consider variability in the inferred magnetic field topologies from repeated observations, as we demonstrate with the literature ZDI data on M dwarfs.
