Starspots: A Key to the Stellar Dynamo
Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2005 Magnetic activity similar to that of the Sun is observed on a variety of cool stars with external convection envelopes. Stellar rotation coupled with convective motions generate strong magnetic fields in the stellar interior and produce a multitude of ...

Rotation and stellar evolution
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 The effects of rotation on the evolution and properties of low-mass stars are first discussed from the pre-main sequence to the red giant phase. We then briefly indicate how some observational constraints available for these stars can help us progress in

Disk accretion onto a magnetized star
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2014 The problem of interaction of the rotating magnetic field, frozen to a star, with a thin well conducting accretion disk is solved exactly. It is shown that a disk pushes the magnetic field lines towards a star, compressing the stellar dipole magnetic ...

BCD Spectrophotometry and Rotation of Active B-Type Stars: Theory and Observations
Galaxies, 2023 This review has two parts. The first one is devoted to the Barbier–Chalonge–Divan (BCD) spectrophotometric system, also known as the Paris spectral classification system.

Towards age/rotation/magnetic activity relation with seismology
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 The knowledge of stellar ages directly impacts the characterization of a planetary system as it puts strong constraints on the moment when the system was born. Unfortunately, the determination of precise stellar ages is a very difficult task.

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We use TESS full-frame imaging data to investigate the angular momentum evolution of young stars in the Orion Complex. We confirm recent findings that stars with rotation periods faster than 2 days are overwhelmingly binaries, with typical separations of

Observable Signatures of Classical T Tauri Stars Accreting in an Unstable Regime
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2014 We discuss key observational signatures of Classical T Tauri stars (CTTSs) accreting through Rayleigh-Taylor instability, which occurs at the interface between an accretion disk and a stellar magnetosphere.

A study of stellar population of intermediate-age globular cluster NGC 2249
Results in Physics, 2020 The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) star cluster NGC 2249 has been found to exhibit an extended main-sequence turn-off (eMSTO) in the color-magnitude diagram (CMD) derived from the data of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

Characterisation of starspot structure and differential rotation of Kepler-411
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Starspots and their movements on stellar surfaces enable the mechanisms of stellar magnetic activity to be investigated. Information on the spot distribution and differential rotation provide important constraints for the behaviour of stellar ...
