Abstract
With the precise. nearly-continuous photometry from the Kepler satellite and the sub-milliarcsecond resolving capabilities of the CHARA An astronomy is entering a tiDW age for the imaging and understanding of stellar magnetic activity. NA,"1, present first results from our Guest Observer Program, where 150 single-epoch surface image reconstructions of KIC 5110407 have revealed differential rotation and hints of magnetic activity cycles based on both spot and flare variations. Analysis of our larger. full dataset will establish in unprecedented detail how surface magnetic activity correlates with stellar age and spectral type. In addition to Kepler work, we have harnessed the power of the world's largest infrared interferometer to 'directly" image the spotted surfaces of a few of the closest RS CVn systems, allowing a comparison of contemporaneous Doppler and light-curve inversion imaging techniques.
