Abstract: In this work, we investigate the system formed by the equations $extdivvecw=g_0$ and $extcurlvecw=vecg$ in bounded star-shaped domains of $mathbb{R}^3$. A Helmholtz-type decomposition theorem is established based on a general solution of the above-mentioned div-curl system which was previously derived in the literature. When $g_{0}equiv0$, we readily obtain a bounded right inverse of $extcurl$ which is a divergence-free invariant. The restriction of this operator to the subspace of divergence-free vector fields with vanishing normal trace is the well-known Biot--Savart operator. In turn, this right inverse of $extcurl$ will be modified to guarantee its compactness and satisfy suitable boundary-value problems. Applications to Beltrami fields, Vekua-type problems as well as Maxwell's equations in inhomogeneous media are included.
