Learning about the latitudinal distribution of starspots through the periodogram analysis of photometric data
A. R. G. Santos, M. S. Cunha, P. P. Avelino +2
Starspots are cooler and darker than the stellar surface. Therefore, the emitted flux of a star changes when spots are visible on its surface. The presence of spots together with t…

Starspot signature on the light curve: Learning about the latitudinal distribution of spots
A. R. G. Santos, M. S. Cunha, P. P. Avelino +2
Quasi-periodic modulations of the stellar light curve may result from dark spots crossing the visible stellar disc. Due to differential rotation, spots at different latitudes gener…
