Abstract

Recent instrumental improvements have given observers the tools that accurately quantify the hot spot phenomenon. In many cases, the basic data are taken. Unfortunately, not all the images are made, and no comprehensive effort has yet been undertaken to consolidate the information in a way to make it useful to all. It seems to this reviewer that accurate images are needed before accurate descriptions can be made.

Nevertheless, the phenomenon of hot spots is well established. A few very good images are.available. Recent advances in computing and theory should soon enable better understanding of the phenomenon.
