Abstract

AbstractWe have obtained 21 ~one-hour observations of the prototypical spotted star, BY Dra, with the VLA. These data are sufficiently well spaced in time to allow for complete rotational and orbital phase coverage; the resultant radio light curves are compared to their optical counterpart. We also plot the emission versus time without phase-folding, in order to search for longer periods of activity. Splitting the data into smaller (three minute) time bins allows for the determination of the normalized amplitude distribution of the flux; we compare this with known stellar optical and X-ray flare distributions.
