Dependence of Stellar Differential Rotation on Effective Temperature and Rotation: An Analysis from Starspot Transit Mapping

Valio, Adriana; Araújo, Alexandre

Stellar rotation is crucial for studying stellar evolution, since it provides information about age, angular momentum transfer, and magnetic fields of stars. In the case of the Sun, due to its proximity, detailed observation of sunspots at various latitudes and longitudes allows a precise estimation of the solar rotation period and its differentia…
