Putting a new spin on variable stars. The astronomers made their observations using NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope – its capability for high-precision, long-duration measurements making the telescope ...

ABSTRACT About 30.5 days of nearly uninterrupted broadband photometry of the solar‐type star κ1 Ceti, obtained with the MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of Stars) satellite, shows evidence for ...

Differential rotation is thought to be an essential ingredient for generating magnetic activity and starspots. view more . Credit: MPI for Solar System Research/MarkGarlick.com.

Changes in differential rotation then cause changes in eruption patterns, their strength, and frequency. An artist's impression of a solar flare.

Other factors are at play in differential rotation, such as the mass of a star, its age, composition, rotational period (the time it takes to fully revolve), and even its magnetic field.
