Title: Measurements and modelling of magnetic fields of chemically peculiar stars
Keyword(s): stars: chemically peculiar, magnetic fields, polarization
Pages: 201 -- 210

Abstract: Chemically peculiar stars of the upper main sequence are the most popular targets for the detection and modelling of stellar magnetic fields. In this paper we review the relevant observational and modelling techniques. We also discuss which physical questions the observations that are nowadays routinely carried out may help to address.
