Dynamo simulations show non-dipolar magnetic field strengths are comparable across dipolar and non-dipolar regimes when scaled by driving power, while the dipole component is an order of magnitude weaker in the non-dipolar regime.

Synthetic spectra tests show Zeeman broadening recovers M dwarf magnetic field strengths more reliably with joint abundance fitting and WAIC selection than with free line strengths or BIC/AIC, which underestimate by 30-50% in active cases.
No bursty planet-induced radio emission detected from five inactive M dwarfs; upper limits constrain GJ 367 b magnetosphere to <0.8 G under assumed stellar wind conditions.

Testing the reliability of magnetic field strength measurements for M dwarfs
Synthetic spectra tests show Zeeman broadening recovers M dwarf magnetic field strengths more reliably with joint abundance fitting and WAIC selection than with free line strengths or BIC/AIC, which underestimate by 30-50% in active cases.
