Astronomy: Magnetic Solar System

Not that I'm aware of, for the solar system.
We have 'mapped' the magnetic fields of individual planets to some extent. Not every planet has a strong magnetic field. The planetary magnetic fields are, broadly-speaking, like the field produced by a bar magnet. However, the solar wind (charged particles from the Sun) affects the shapes of the planetary fields.
Why do you ask?
