内容記述A search has been made for Zeeman broadening in high resolution spectra of eight G and K type, evolved stars which have active chromospheres and coronae. No Zeeman broadening was found. It is likely that the fraction of the stellar surface that contains magnetic fields is similar in active giants and dwarfs, based on their comparable chromospheric line strengths and plage surface brightnesses (deduced from Mg II/C IV ratios) and on their comparable requirements for coronal confinement. Thus, since Zeeman broadening is detectable on active dwarfs, the nondetections of Zeeman broadening on these evolved stars are probably due to systematically lower field strengths. That the lower field strengths do not result in lower chromospheric surface brightnesses on giants is consistent with the theoretial 'slow mode' MHD wave generation rates of Ulmschneider and Stein (1982). The low field strengths can be explained by requiring that the fields be in equipartition with either the thermal or turbulent energy densities, both of which are reduced in late-type evolved stars compared with the sun.
