Short-term evolution of active regions on LQ Hydrae

The single, fast rotating K2 dwarf LQ Hydrae is well known for having
fast and sometimes even apparently chaotic variations in its magnetic
activity. The source of these changes remains, however, unknown. We have
used STELLA SES spectra together with quasi-simultaneous APT photometry
to monitor the star during four consecutive months. In this presentation
I will show the main results concerning the spatial coexistence of
spots, plages and flare activity, as well as their temporal evolution in
the short term.
