Abstract
THE recent celebration of Prof. Zeeman's seventieth birthday offers a favourable opportunity to describe current applications of his powerful method of research to the study of solar magnetism. Our latest results include the completion of the first observed 23-year magnetic cycle of sunspots and the conclusion of a long investigation of the sun's general magnetic field, made for the purpose of checking beyond question the original measurements begun in 1912.
