| Abstract from DBPedia | Starspots are stellar phenomena, so-named by analogy with sunspots. Spots as small as sunspots have not been detected on other stars, as they would cause undetectably small fluctuations in brightness. The commonly observed starspots are in general much larger than those on the Sun: up to about 30% of the stellar surface may be covered, corresponding to starspots 100 times larger than those on the Sun.恒星黒点(こうせいこくてん、Starspot)は、太陽以外の恒星に存在する、太陽の黒点に相当する構造である。太陽の黒点程度の大きさのものは、明るさのゆらぎが小さすぎて検出できないが、太陽の黒点の約100倍、恒星表面の30%に達するほど大きなものは検出することができる。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Starspot) |
