Polka-dotted Stars. II. Starspots and Obliquities of Kepler-17 and Kepler-63

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Starspots trace stellar magnetic activity and affect both stellar evolution and exoplanet characterization. While occultation-based spot studies have been applied to individual systems, comparative analyses remain limited.

On the detectability of starspot magnetic fields

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1979
A starspot is here considered as the surface manifestation of a submerged magnetic dipole. It seems likely that in red dwarfs, the dipole is generated by dynamo action within the outer convection zone. As a result, a starspot-associated dipole is highly decentered.

Starspots as tracers of differential surface rotation.

open access: yes, 2002
Differential rotation is a key ingredient in theories of stellar magnetic field generation. The solar surface differential rotation was initially discovered via the simple method of tracking the rotation rates of individual starspots at different ...

The Effect of Starspots on Spectroscopic Age and Mass Estimates of Nonaccreting T Tauri Stars in the Taurus–Auriga Star-forming Region

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Accurate age and mass determinations for young pre-main-sequence stars are made challenging by the presence of large-scale starspots. We present results from a near-infrared spectroscopic survey of 10 T-Tauri Stars in Taurus-Auriga that characterize spot-

Probing the magnetic fields of starspots with transit mapping

open access: yes
Context. Starspots, regions of strong magnetic fields, serve as indicators of stellar activity and the dynamo mechanism at play in the interior of stars. The magnetic fields of main-sequence stars play a crucial role in driving stellar activity.

Formation of starspots in self-consistent global dynamo models: Polar spots on cool stars

open access: yes, 2014
Context. Observations of cool stars reveal dark spot-like features on their surfaces. Compared to sunspots, starspots can be bigger or cover a larger fraction of the stellar surface.
