Fig. 3: Light curve inversion mapping of the photosphere of zeta Pup as observed by BRITE in 2014-2015. Time increases upwards. The left panel illustrates the observed light curve (filled circles) during different parts of the BRITE observing run, along with the reconstructed light curve (green line), with the residuals plotted below the light curves. Then follows a view of the star at rotational phase 0.375 (Middle panel) and the pseudo-Mercator projection of the stellar surface (right panel). The vertical open brackets on the left of the pseudo-Mercator projections indicate the range of latitudes visible by the observer. The sub-Earth point is at longitude 0 deg at rotational phase zero. From Ramiaramanantsoa et al. (2017).
