Can complex T Tauri star light curves be modelled with star-spots?

KOEN C.

Abstract (from CDS):

'Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite' photometry of 10 young stars with very complex periodic light curves is considered. Previous findings that these cannot be due to dark surface spots are re-evaluated by allowing arbitrarily shaped areas on the stellar surface to have sub-photospheric fluxes. This is done by approximating flux integrals by sums over surface elements. The unknown ratios of spot to photospheric fluxes are determined by lasso or ridge regression procedures. It is found that almost all light curves can be modelled very accurately in this way. The usual, if rarely stated, caveat applies - star-spot models presented in the paper are not unique.
