A giant planet candidate transiting a white dwarf

A Vanderburg, SA Rappaport, S Xu, IJM Crossfield… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Astronomers have discovered thousands of planets outside the Solar System, most of which
orbit stars that will eventually evolve into red giants and then into white dwarfs. During the …

How to constrain your M dwarf. II. The mass–luminosity–metallicity relation from 0.075 to 0.70 solar masses

AW Mann, T Dupuy, AL Kraus, E Gaidos… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
The mass–luminosity relation for late-type stars has long been a critical tool for estimating
stellar masses. However, there is growing need for both a higher-precision relation and a …

The active lives of stars: a complete description of the rotation and XUV evolution of F, G, K, and M dwarfs

CP Johnstone, M Bartel, M Güdel - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021 - aanda.org

How to constrain your M dwarf: measuring effective temperature, bolometric luminosity, mass, and radius

AW Mann, GA Feiden, E Gaidos… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Precise and accurate parameters for late-type (late K and M) dwarf stars are important for
characterization of any orbiting planets, but such determinations have been hampered by …

planets has grown significantly in the last years. Aims. In our on-going effort to …

The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs-High-resolution optical and near-infrared spectroscopy of 324 survey stars

A Reiners, M Zechmeister, JA Caballero… - Astronomy & …, 2018 - aanda.org
The CARMENES radial velocity (RV) survey is observing 324 M dwarfs to search for any
orbiting planets. In this paper, we present the survey sample by publishing one CARMENES …

The Hα emission of nearby M dwarfs and its relation to stellar rotation

ER Newton, J Irwin, D Charbonneau… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The high-energy emission from low-mass stars is mediated by the magnetic dynamo.
Although the mechanisms by which fully convective stars generate large-scale magnetic …
