In the past decade, indirect (Doppler) imaging techniques have opened up a whole new discipline in stellar astronomy, providing increasingly detailed photometric, magnetic, and chemical inhomogeneity images of stellar surfaces. Furthermore, new optical interferometers are already being used with sophisticated interferometer techniques to image stellar surface structures more directly, and in the future the ESO VLT Interferometer and other instruments will extend these capabilities enormously. These developments are highlighted in the first two sections of this book.
The large number of recent results, ground-based and space-based, and ... Read more

Reviews for Stellar Surface Structure
`This book provides a very detailed overview of the techniques and the main results of the study of surfaces of stars in different periods of evolution. For every library it is really necessary to have this book, that will be a reference for most scientists working in this field of astronomy/astrophysics.' Reviews ... Read more
