Outline

  • Introduction
    • Age, Mass, and rotation as predictors of evolutionary state.
    • Starspots as a manifestation of rotation, uniqueness
    • Recent theoretical advances
    • Layout of this paper
  • Methods
    • Our limited understanding of starspot properties, observational biases (ref Table A1)
    • Interpreting lightcurves
      • Intro: limitations of "lightcurve inversions", cite (Basri, Roettenbacher)
      • Need for assuming temperature distribution
      • Simplest Possible Analytic Starspot Model (SPASM)
      • Pathologically Asymmetric Two-temperature Hemispheres Equator-on Model (PADOTHEM)
      • Pole-on star with Any Starspot Distribution Model (PSASDM)
      • Need to assume "starspot-dominated" or "faculae dominated"
      • Practical considerations for monochromatic lightcurves-- fitting amplitude and (in the case of Kepler/K2) possibility of spurious secular trends.
      • Multi-term Lomb-Scargle and Fourier reconstruction
      • Equation Fourier reconstruction with linear coefficients + cross-validation
      • figure: Cartoon of starspot
    • Spectroscopy
      • Improved accuracy over Gully-Santiago et al. 2017
      • Philosophy: measurement versus detection
  • Observations and data reduction
    • IGRINS observations
    • Ground-based photometric monitoring
    • K2 data, add in proposal IDs
    • bonus High resolution imaging to constrain multiplicity status?
    • bonus Gaia data -- polychromatic photometry? Distance? goodness-of-fit metric / binarity?
  • Analysis
    • K2 data
      • Aperture selection, intercomparison of detrending techniques
    • Archival V-band photometry
      • Long-term trends
      • Global flux deficit
    • K2 detrending, aperture selection, intercomparison of detrending techniques
    • IGRINS two-temperature spectral inference
      • MCMC convergence and posterior predictive checks
        • figure: IGRINS Spectra
      • Internal consistency of vsini, v_z, GP hyperparameters
        • figure: Violin plot
    • Archival BRI-band photometry
      • Color interpretation?
  • Results
    • V827 Tau has at least 23% coverage fraction of spots (K2)
    • V827 Tau has at least X Temp of spots (K2)
    • V827 Tau has at least 50% coverage fraction of spots (1990 Archival)
    • V827 Tau has at least X Temp of spots (1990 Archival)
    • V827 Tau has ~75% coverage fraction of spots with T_spot ~ Y (IGRINS + Starfish)
      • figure: T_spot versus f_spot plot with lightcurve constraints
  • Discussion
    • Interpreting geometries with circumpolar active longitudes, or migrating active latitudes
    • Derived geometrical scaling factor and comparison to Rackham+ and Zhen+
    • Which portions of the IGRINS spectra are most informative?
    • Does the T_spot scatter represent probes of different atmospheric depths at different wavelengths?
    • Comparison to LkCa4
      • bonus figure: LkCa4 T_spot versus f_spot plot with lightcurve constraints
    • How do our results change if we relax our assumptions?
    • Are our results consistent with the polychromatic photometry?
      • bonus figure: Prediction of color amplitude versus time versus observations
    • What would you have derived for spot sizes based on each of the other seasons alone?
      • bonus figure: 1990 versus 2001 versus K2 epoch
    • Where does V827 Tau sit in a new HR diagram? (new Somers models)
      • bonus figure: PMS HR diagram with new Somers tracks
  • Appendix
    • optional Table A1 of starspot characterization methods
    • bonus K2 Detection of flares
    • bonus K2 planet search-- transit / reflected light hot-Jupiter?
