Spot configurations considered in this study. From top to bottom we show spot distributions with one active longitude, ONE (active longitude at 180 deg, σ_n = 60 deg), with axisymmetric polar spot distribution, POL, with randomly distributed spots, RAN, and with two active longitudes, TWO (90 and 270 deg, σ_n = 45 deg). The maps depicted illustrate the highest spot coverage at t = 1000 days (left panels)and the lowest coverage at 500 days (right panels). Note, how the spot colatitude is changing for the ONE and TWO models.
