Optical chromospheric activity of V711 Tau

The secondary also presents weak emission but is less active. The ratios of EW_8542_/EW_8498_ indicate that CaII IRT emission arises predominantly from plage-like regions. We have found rotational modulation of chromospheric activity in the H{alpha} and CaII IRT lines, which suggests the presence of the chromospheric active longitudes over the surface of V711 Tau.

Two active longitudes separated by about 180{deg} were observed to dominate the activity, and the so-called flip-flop phenomenon was seen during our observations. Moreover, the chromospheric activity level shows a long-term variation that gradually increases from a deep minimum near the year 2002. A close spatial connection of photospheric spots and chromospheric active regions in both short and long timescales was found for V711 Tau.
