Magnetogram - Measurement of the magnetic fields of the Sun and the Earth.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetogram
"Magnetograms are often produced by exploiting the Zeeman effect (or, in some cases, the Hanle effect)".
From NASA: https://sunearthday.nasa.gov/2006/locations/magneticsun.php
"Soon after George Ellery Hale discovered a way to detect magnetism on the sun in 1908, large telescopes were created to make more detailed observations using the Zeeman Splitting Effect.
One of the largest of these telescopes, the Mt. Wilson 150-foot tower telescope, was built in 1912.
The NASA-Marshall Space Flight Center Vector Magnetograph Facility was assembled in 1973 to support the Skylab mission. At this facility, daily magnetograms can be accessed online since 2000.
Meanwhile in space, the NASA/ESA SOHO satellite creates magnetograms of the full sun (...)".
Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO)

SOHO carries the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) which measures velocity and magnetic fields in the photosphere.
