Caption: Figure 6.

Comparison between maximum areas and lifetimes (T) of the detected star spots on solar-type stars. The area is plotted in units of MSH (1 MSH = 10⁻⁶ × 2πR_⊙²). The size of each circle represents the stellar rotational period. Blue and red colors correspond to the spots with P_rot <7 days and P_rot > 7 days, respectively.
