Scientific paper

We present the results of extensive MHD simulations aiming to predict star spot patterns on stars in two well-known stellar clusters, the Pleiades (100 Myr) and the Orion Nebular Cluster (2 Myr). The emergence of thin magnetic flux tubes is studied from their origin at the base of the convective zone up to the photosphere. The mass/rotational grid of the stellar models is wide enough to cover all stellar types where theory predicts the possibility of starspot formation. In particular, masses between 4.0 M&sun; and 0.4 M&sun; and rotational rates from 0.25 Ω&sun; to 25 Ω&sun; are considered.
