Spots, Spot-Cycles, and Magnetic Fields of Late-Type Dwarfs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
A review is presented of the current state of observational knowledge concerning spots, spot-cycles and surface magnetic fields on active late-type dwarfs. The discussion centers primarily on the physical characteristics of starspots on BY Dra-type stars, including spot sizes, temperatures, structural morphology, migratory motions, and activity cycles. The discussion will also include some references to similar spot phenomena on the RS CVn stars. Observational evidence for surface magnetic fields on these stars, and on chromospherically-active G and K dwarfs, is also reviewed.
