Abstract: We present an application of the magnetic flux-tube model of Caligari (1995, 1991) to pre-main-sequence stars. This model was originally designed as an explanation for sunspots. The primary goal is to derive the emerging latitude of flux tubes for a large parameter volume including stellar mass, age, and rotational period. Since the original model worked well in explaining certain sunspot features, the next step would be to compare our model predictions with observed starspot distributions obtained by Doppler imaging techniques.
