the only magnetic field currently in mesa/star comes from the Spruit dynamo code.

these 2 vectors are set as part of the set_rotation_mixing_info routine in star/private/rotation_mix_info.f90

      real(dp), pointer :: dynamo_B_r(:) ! magnetic field (Gauss)
      real(dp), pointer :: dynamo_B_phi(:) ! magnetic field (Gauss)


Add these to your profile_columns.list

dynamo_log_B_r
dynamo_log_B_phi

-b
