From Starspots to Stellar Coronal Mass Ejections—Revisiting Empirical Stellar Relations [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract Upcoming missions, including the James Webb Space Telescope, will soon characterize the atmospheres of terrestrial-type exoplanets in habitable zones around cool K- and M-type stars by searching for atmospheric biosignatures. Recent observations suggest that the ionizing radiation and particle environment from active cool planet

Hunting for stellar coronal mass ejections [PDF]
, 2022 Solar flares are often accompanied by filament/prominence eruptions, sometimes leading to coronal mass ejections (CMEs). By analogy, we expect that stellar flares are also associated with stellar CMEs whose properties are essential to know the impact on exoplanet habitability.

Simulating the Space Weather in the AU Mic System: Stellar Winds and Extreme Coronal Mass Ejections [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Abstract Two close-in planets have been recently found around the M-dwarf flare star AU Microscopii (AU Mic). These Neptune-sized planets (AU Mic b and c) seem to be located very close to the so-called “evaporation valley” in the exoplanet population, making this system an important target for studying atmospheric loss on exoplanets ...

Stellar coronal mass ejections – II. Constraints from spectroscopic observations [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT Detections of stellar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are still rare. Observations of strong Balmer line asymmetries during flare events have been interpreted as being caused by CMEs. Here, we aim to estimate the maximum possible Balmer line fluxes expected from CMEs to infer their detectability in spectroscopic observations ...

Constraining the Physical Properties of Stellar Coronal Mass Ejections with Coronal Dimming: Application to Far-ultraviolet Data of ϵ Eridani [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Abstract Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are a prominent contributor to solar system space weather and might have impacted the Sun’s early angular momentum evolution. A signal diagnostic of CMEs on the Sun is coronal dimming: a drop in coronal emission, tied to the mass of the CME, that is the direct result of removing emitting plasma from

Coronal dimming as a proxy for stellar coronal mass ejections [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2019 AbstractSolar coronal dimmings have been observed extensively in the past two decades and are believed to have close association with coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Recent study found that coronal dimming is the only signature that could differentiate powerful flares that have CMEs from those that do not.
