White Light Flare Continuum Observations with ULTRACAM
Adam F. Kowalski, Mihalis Mathioudakis, Suzanne L. Hawley +4
We present sub-second, continuous-coverage photometry of three flares on the dM3.5e star, EQ Peg A, using custom continuum filters with WHT/ULTRACAM. These data provide a new view…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 M Dwarf Spectroscopic Catalog
Andrew A. West, Dylan P. Morgan, John J. Bochanski +17
We present a spectroscopic catalog of 70,841 visually inspected M dwarfs from the seventh data release (DR7) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). For each spectrum, we provide m…
Statistical Parallax Analysis of SDSS M Dwarfs
Suzanne L. Hawley, John J. Bochanski, Andrew A. West
We report on the analysis of ~22,000 M dwarfs using a statistical parallax method. This technique employs a maximum-likelihood formulation to simultaneously solve for the absolute…
