Abstract
Using a model based on the rotational modulation of the visibility of active regions, we analysed the high-accuracy CoRot light curve of an active K0 V star. Spectra obtained during follow-up observations were used to derive its fundamental stellar parameters and indicate that the object is not a short-period binary system. We reports measurements of the rotation period of this young solar analogue, estimates of its surface coverage by photospheric starspots and derivations of its evolutionary status.
