Surface differential rotation and spot lifetimes in MS stars
Gaitee Hussain, ESO
I'll review what we've learnt regarding surface differential rotation rates in a range of solar-type (G-K-type) main sequence stars. In particular, I'll examine the relationship between active region lifetimes and surface shear rates in some key systems.
