Light-curve inversions for DP CVn. Darker regions indicate larger spot filling factors. The grid in the maps indicates the equator and four longitudes separated by 90°. The observations (crosses) and calculated V and y light curves (solid lines) are also presented. Note that for convenience reasons we use 2 451 250.99805 as the zero phase in the plot, i.e., the time of the first photometric observation we have, yielding a phase shift of +0.240 as compared to the Doppler maps in Sect. 4.2).
