| Abstract: |
The fact, that late-type stars exhibit complex and small scale surface magnetic fields, imposes special requirements on their observation as well as on their modeling and reconstruction. Our new Zeeman-Doppler imaging code iMap, which we present here, was particularly designed for the application to late type stars. It does full radiative transfer calculations and utilizes a regularization scheme which is based on local maximum entropy. Furthermore a new multi-line cross-correlation technique by means of a Principal Component Analysis is used to enhance the quality of individual observed polarized line profiles. In a first application we present Zeeman-Doppler images of II Pegasi, which reveal a surprisingly large scale surface structure with one predominant magnetic longitude, containing a mainly radially oriented field. |
