Scientific paper

We present first results on spectroscopic observations of the rapidly-rotating active binary star EI Eridani obtained during the MUSICOS multi-site campaign in 1998. Eight sites around the globe were involved in order to achieve surface images within a few rotations as EI Eridani's critical rotation period of 1.945 days makes it impossible to obtain time-resolved images from a single site. The data were split into groups in order to obtain consecutive, independent Doppler images. The preliminary results confirm the existence of a stable polar spot that changes in size and shape while low-latitute spots are found to be short lived. For the first time, it is possible to achieve consecutive, time-resolved Doppler images for EI Eridani. A preliminary investigation of differential rotation contradicts the results from Hatzes & Vogt (1992).
