... In collaborative work with David Garc?a Alvarez (an Observatory PhD student now at Harvard) and John Butler, an extensive study of the RS CVn binary HR1099 was completed leading to two papers; the first on Doppler imaging and the second on flare activity. Spectra for the Doppler imaging were taken at two different sites, Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), Arizona, and Mount Stromlo Observatory (MSO), Australia, during the 1998 MUltiSIte COntinuous Spectroscopic (MUSICOS) campaign. ...
