Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the theoretical research, we have proposed the three-dimensional macro-spin model that describes the essence of the dynamo-effects in planets and stars. This is a generalization of our previous macro-spin model. We have clarified the conditions in which the magnetic poles have high possibility to reverse. We submitted a paper to a journal.
VESPolA is a high dispersion spectro-polarimeter, mounted on the 1.3m Araki telescope at Koyama Astronomical Observatory of Kyoto Sangyo University. In the device development, we introduced a new circular polarization mode to the VESPolA and raised the resolution from R = 8,000 to R = 25,000. Thus we haveestablished a novel method which enables very efficient data analysis.
In the observational research, ten target stars have been tested, and the long-term observation of the magnetic field polarity for the four targets is now continuing.
