From the long-term V -band photometry, we derive rotational period of LO Peg to be 0.4231 +/- 0.0001 d. Using the seasonal variations on the rotational period, the SDR pattern is investigated, and shows a solar-like pattern of SDR. A cyclic pattern with period of ~2.7 yr appears to be present in rotational period variation. During the observations, 20 optical flares are detected with a flare frequency of 1 flare per two days and with flare energy of 10^{31-34} erg. The surface coverage of cool spots is found to be in the range of 9-26 per cent. It appears that the high- and low-latitude spots are interchanging their positions. Quasi-simultaneous observations in X-ray, UV, and optical photometric bands show a signature of an excess of X-ray and UV activities in spotted regions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-08-23T14:28:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "surface differential rotation", "lo peg", "spot-topographic evolution", "optical flares", "rotational period variation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
