Fig. 6
Normalised phase profiles from models of emission from hotspots of various radii (curves). The ‘final’ model includes edge effects and limb darkening. Also shown, are the observed phase profiles from the sum of Balmer and metal lines. It is clear from comparing the model and observed profiles that the size of the hotspot must be between 95 and 100%.
