Quantifying the Transit Light Source Effect: Measurements of Spot Temperature and Coverage on the Photosphere of AU Microscopii with High-resolution Spectroscopy and Multicolor Photometry

The Astrophysical Journal
AU Microscopii (AU Mic) is an active 24 ± 3 Myr pre-main-sequence M dwarf in the stellar neighborhood ( d = 9.7 pc) with a rotation period of 4.86 days. The two transiting planets orbiting AU Mic, AU Mic b and c, are warm sub-Neptunes on 8.5 and 18.9 day

Minimizing Star-spot Contamination of Exoplanet Transit Spectroscopy Using Alternate Normalization

The Astronomical Journal
Recently, M. H. Currie et al. (2023) simulated the detection of molecules in the atmospheres of temperate rocky exoplanets transiting nearby M-dwarf stars.

Coincidence between Rotational Modulations of Coronal and Photospheric Activities on the Saturated Star AB Dor

The Astronomical Journal
The magnetic connection among different layers is observed on the Sun and plays a key role in solar activity. It is also expected to be common on other active stars.

Starspots and Flares are Generally Not Correlated

Sunspots and solar flares are two different manifestations of magnetic activity on the surface of the Sun. On the Sun, flares typically occur close to spots. In this paper we test this the connection between spots and flares on other stars. We detect 218,386 stellar flares on 14,163 spotted stars using a new algorithm called \textsc{toffee ...

Long-term, multiwavelength light curves of ultra-cool dwarfs: I. An interplay of starspots & clouds likely drive the variability of the L3. 5 dwarf 2MASS 0036+ 18 [PDF]

, 2016
We present multi-telescope, ground-based, multiwavelength optical and near-infrared photometry of the variable L3.5 ultra-cool dwarf 2MASSW J0036159+182110. We present 22 nights of photometry of 2MASSW J0036159+182110, including 7 nights of simultaneous,

Molecular Hydrogen Controls the Temperatures of Flares on TRAPPIST-1

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Early JWST observations of TRAPPIST-1 have revealed an unexpected puzzle: energetic white-light flares ( E  > 10 ^30 erg) reach temperatures of only ∼3500–4000 K, nearly 3 times cooler than typical solar flares, which peak around 9000–10,000 K.

Detailed Analysis of Six Contact Binaries and their Possible Origin

The Astronomical Journal
A photometric investigation of six binary systems of the W Ursae Majoris (W UMa)-type is presented. We extracted primary and secondary minima from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite observations of these systems.
