RS CVn STARS: Photospheric Phenomena and Rotation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
This review presents a summary of observed photospheric phenomena on RS CVn stars: the amplitude, shape, evolution and migration rate of the photometric wave in relation to the rotational and orbital motion.
The main points considered are: 1) the activity level (maximum amplitude, short and long timescale variability) versus rotation period; 2) the activity cycles as inferred from changes in the wave migration rate and direction and from the variation of its amplitude; 3) the detection of differential rotation; 4) the connection between the orbital period variation and activity.
