Polarization observations with the ngVLA in low-mass evolved stars
We present a compendium of polarization observations in low- and intermediate-mass evolved stars, pointing out the importance of these studies to measure the strength and geometry of the magnetic (B) field associated with them. The B-field configuration is likely to play an important role in the evolution of these stars and the eventual morphology shown in the planetary nebula phase. Particularly, we will emphasize on the capabilities of the ngVLA to carry out those studies, either for continuum or spectral-line polarization, including polarimetric observations of masers.
