Mazeh, & Aigrain Figure 1. Period vs. mass with comparison to previous rotation period measurements. The 34,030 new rotation periods derived using AutoACF are shown as cyan points. The mass was derived using the models of Baraffe et al. (1998), as described in the text. This figure also displays periods from Baliunas et al. (1996) and Kiraga & Stepien (2007; 114 circles) and MEarth data from Irwin et al.

Additional M-dwarf periods from the WFCAM Transit Survey (Goulding et al. 2012), for which no kinematic classification is available (65 triangles), with masses derived from Pecaut & Mamajek (2013). Also included are periods from (Hartman et al. 2011; 1686 small black dots), with mass estimates obtained using Teff and the models of Baraffe et al.

The surface is an extrapolation in age, using P ∝ √ t(Skumanich 1972), of the color–period relation observed among moderate-to-slow rotators in the Hyades and younger clusters (black curve). The black dot marks the color, age, and rotation period of the Sun.

detected on HAT-P-11 with STSP (see Section 3). The radius of each circle corresponds to the size of the spot. The shading beneath corresponds to the number of times the planet occulted that spatial bin on the stellar surface, which can be used as a proxy for relative completeness. Note that the spots occur preferentially at two active latitudes near ±15 . The 6:1 period commensurability between the orbital period and stellar rotation period produces the alternating longitudinal stripes in relative occultation number. The two red circles in the western hemisphere near longitude 90 highlight the spots derived from the transit light curve in Figure 8, and the four blue circles in the eastern hemisphere near longitude 30 correspond to the spots derived from the transit light curve in Figure 6. The green circle near longitude 100 corresponds to the large spot discussed in Figure 13. for the sensitivities and biases of the di↵erent observing methods is beyond the scope of this paper. The latitude distribution of spots of HAT- show the mean latitudes of spots on each hemi- sphere of the Sun, and the standard deviations of the spot distributions.
