Notes.

(a)

The longitude of the centre of the spot is defined to be at the centre of the stellar disc and can vary from − 90° to 90°.

(b)

The co-latitude of the centre of the spot is defined to be at the north pole and 180° at the south pole.

(c)

Angular radius of the starspot (note that an angular radius of 90° covers half of stellar surface).

(d)

Spot contrast; note that 1.0 equals the brightness of the surrounding photosphere.

(e)

The temperature of the starspots are obtained by considering the photosphere and the starspots as black bodies.
