Can star spots mimic differential rotation?

REINERS A. and SCHMITT J.H.M.M.

Abstract (from CDS):

The search for stellar differential rotation in Fourier-transformed profiles utilizes subtle deviations from the standard rotation profile. We investigate the influence of stellar spots on the results obtained with the Fourier Transform Method. Different spot configurations, especially polar spots, are examined, and their influence on Fourier-transformed line profiles studied. We found that polar spots cannot mimic solar-like differential rotation and are thus not critical for the use of the Fourier Transform Method. Although not indicated by Doppler imaging, other configurations may occur on stellar surfaces and their influence on the analysis is discussed. A symmetric distribution of spots in an activity belt leads - in a small region of the parameter space - to line profiles that are very similar to the signatures produced by differential rotation.

within arcsec The VizieR photometry tool allows for easy visualization of photometry points extracted around the Simbad position from photometry-enabled catalogues in VizieR.
The search radius has to be specified by the user. It is currently limited to a maximum of 30 arcsec. It depends mostly on the precision or quality of the coordinates (SIMBAD and VizieR catalogs), the resolution of the images from which the sources were extracted, source extent, and source crowding.
Suggestions are: crowded field: 0.5 to 1.5 arcsec, 3 arcsec otherwise; uncertain coordinates (SIMBAD quality E or coordinates without reference): 5 to 30 arsec (risky!). sed-help-icon
