  17. Deviation from the UD model in the 2nd lobe Presence of asymmetries in the second lobe The example of the M0.5III Giant: d Oph (Teff = 3679 K; log g = 1.4) Visibility: Interferometric measurements of d Oph reveal asymmetric structures on its photosphere. As the signature of these asymmetries appears in the second lobe of visibility, it means that structures of 10 to 30% (1-3 mas) size of the star are detected. Therefore, the size of the spots is about 10 times larger than the one predicted from the simulations of Svensson et al., 2005. This means that SBA could affect the astrometry of LPVs located closer than 300 pc at the level of accuracy of GAIA (~10 µas). We can thus re-evaluate the number of possible threats to the parallax to maybe half of the LPVs observablewith GAIA. 2.3µm 1st lobe Uniform Disk of 10 mas 2nd lobe Measurements Closure phase: 2.3µm
