The Quest for Pulsating M Dwarf Stars [PDF]
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019 Recent fully non-adiabatic theoretical studies of M dwarf models show that they have the potential to excite radial, and low-order, low-degree non-radial modes, as well as solar-like oscillations, due to models being completely convective or having large

Shock formation around planets orbiting M‐dwarf stars [PDF]
Astronomische Nachrichten, 2011 AbstractBow shocks can be formed around planets due to their interaction with the coronal medium of the host stars. The net velocity of the particles impacting on the planet determines the orientation of the shock. At the Earth's orbit, the (mainly radial) solar wind is primarily responsible for the formation of a shock facing towards the Sun. However,

Stellar Parameterization of LAMOST M Dwarf Stars [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2021 Abstract The M dwarf stars are the most common stars in the Galaxy, dominating the population of the Galaxy at faint magnitudes. Precise and accurate stellar parameters for M dwarfs are of crucial importance for many studies. However, the atmospheric parameters of M dwarf stars are difficult to determine.

Pulsations in M dwarf stars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2012 Abstract We present the results of the first theoretical non-radial, non-adiabatic pulsational study of M dwarf stellar models with masses in the range 0.1–0.5 M⊙. We find the fundamental radial mode to be unstable due to an ε mechanism, caused by deuterium (D) burning for the young 0.1 and 0.2 M⊙ models, by non-equilibrium He3 burning ...

Single-hemisphere Dynamos in M-dwarf Stars
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2020 Abstract M-dwarf stars below a certain mass are convective from their cores to their photospheres. These fully convective objects are extremely numerous, very magnetically active, and the likely hosts of many exoplanets. Here we study, for the first time, dynamo action in simulations of stratified, rotating, fully convective M-dwarf ...

New Observational Constraints on the Winds of M dwarf Stars* [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract High-resolution UV spectra of stellar H i Lyα lines from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) provide observational constraints on the winds of coronal main-sequence stars, thanks to an astrospheric absorption signature created by the interaction between the stellar winds and the interstellar medium.

THE CLOSE BINARY FRACTION OF DWARF M STARS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 We describe a search for close spectroscopic dwarf M star binaries using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to address the question of the rate of occurrence of multiplicity in M dwarfs. We use a template fitting technique to measure radial velocities from 145,888 individual spectra obtained for a magnitude-limited sample of 39,543 M dwarfs.
