The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

This review discusses the problem of reconstruction of surface magnetic field topologies of early-type stars with a focus on mapping methods utilising information content of high-resolution spectropolarimetric observations. Basic principles of the Zeeman Doppler imaging tomographic mapping technique are outlined and its recent applications to magnetic early-type stars are summarised. The current observational and modelling challenges faced by the studies of surface magnetic fields in these stars are also discussed.
