Sunspots and starspots ~ Dr. Robert Smith (Emeritus Reader in Astrophysics, University of Sussex)

This covers a little of the material on sunspots in the previous talk, but goes on to discuss how spots have also been discovered on other stars. However, it doesn't rely on people having seen the previous talk, although the properties of sunspots are covered only rather briefly. I include in this talk some work done by my last research student on starspots in cataclysmic binaries.
