The existence of polar spots on cool stars has received growing theoretical as well as observational support over the past decade with most explanations centering on the effect of the Coriolis effect on rising flux tubes in the stellar interior. Models suggest that on the main sequence such spots should be primarily found on young rapidly-rotating low-mass stars and the relatively limited Doppler Imaging studies which have been performed appear to confirm this prediction.
The effects of this polar concentration of magnetic flux on stellar winds have not yet been adequately explored though it is apparent that it will lead to angular momentum loss rates for young lower-main-sequence stars which are strongly inhibited compared to the [ADS note: abstract was cut off here.]
