Stellar flares in TESS photometry

open access: yes
Stellar magnetic activity causes different observable phenomena on the surface of a star, including starspots, bright regions, and even explosive events, such as flares and coronal mass ejections.

Starspots [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2009
Starspots are created by local magnetic fields on the surfaces of stars, just as sunspots. Their fields are strong enough to suppress the overturning convective motion and thus block or redirect the flow of energy from the stellar interior outwards to the surface and consequently appear as locally cool and therefore dark regions against an otherwise ...

Starspots and Photometric Noise on Observed Minus Calculated (O–C) Diagrams

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2002
The effects of starspots on the O–C diagrams of eclipsing binaries are investigated, with a special emphasis on contact binaries. It is shown that starspots modulate the O–C differences in a fundamentally different way than real orbital period variations.

Starspots and Active Regions on the Emission Red Dwarf Star

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2002
The quasi-simultaneous electrophotometric, polarimetric and spectroscopic observations of the single active spotted star $LQ~Hya$ are presented. The photometric variability of the star can be described completely by a zonal starspots model.
