Magnetic Fields of Chemically Peculiar and Related Stars. VII. Main Results of 2020 and Near-Future Prospects

We present a review of the papers written in the field of stellar magnetism studies in 2020. More than 70 original papers related to different areas of the specified scientific topics have been analyzed. Instruments, methods of analysis, and software are considered, as well as: chemically peculiar stars and their identification; magnetic fields, chemical abundance, and photometry of chemically peculiar stars; magnetic white dwarfs, active cool stars and other objects. In the field of stellar magnetism research, 6–7 scientific groups continue to work actively using the world’s largest telescopes, which fact indicates the relevance and importance of the problem under study.
