A hysteresis curve was a mathematical plotting of magnetic field strength and flux density.
As the hull of a Template:ShipClass ship was made up of metallic composites that could interact with magnetic fields, lost ships could be found by using a differential magnetometer to detect fluctuations in the hysteresis curve. (DS9: "Battle Lines")
