Description
The authors parameterize the photometric distortion waves in the
short-period RS CVn system BH Vir by a dark, circular spot model for the
active regions on the primary stars. From recent observations and
archival source, they infer the positions and areas of the active
regions and also evaluate the temperatures of the spotted regions
relative to the photospheres. For BH Vir in 1986, Tspot =
4900K ± 500K. The active regions tend to occur at high latitudes
(near 45°) and at preferred longitudes (active longitude belts) near
90° and 270°.
