Abstract:

In the framework of an extensive program focusing on the global properties and evolution of active stars, high-precision tex2html_wrap_inline503 photometry of 9 selected stars, collected at the European Southern Observatory over the intervals 7-17 September and 30 September - 10 October 1990, is presented. Significant evolution of the light curves, period variations and evidence for long-term variability of the global degree of spottedness are found. Some of the spectral classifications are discussed. These observations contribute to the establishment of a time-extended photometric database which can give important clues on topics such as the stability of the spotted areas, differential rotation, solar-like cycles and the correlation between inhomogeneities at different atmospheric levels.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
