Flaring loop model applied to 2007 data. AB Dor A is represented as a sphere with its rotation axis indicated by an arrow (i ∼ 60°, PA_rot ∼ 0°) and a slightly misaligned magnetic axis (∼20°) which is plotted as a red line. The radio emission is originated by magnetic reconnection or interaction at top of the loop system surrounding the star. As discussed in the main text, the rotation of the star would create snapshot 1 (left panel) and snapshot 3 (right panel).
