Roche tomography : mapping stellar activity in close binaries

The secondary stars in cataclysmic variables (CVs) and close binaries are crucial to our understanding of the origin, evolution and behaviour of these systems. Magnetic activity of the secondaries has been invoked to explain many of their observed characteristics, and is thought to influence their e...
