astro-ph.SR2025

Discovery of a rapidly evolving global magnetic field in the M-dwarf YZ Cet and constraints on the magnetic field of its planet YZ Cet b

Ayan Biswas, Colin P. Folsom, James A. Barron +3

We present a spectropolarimetric study of the nearby M4.5V exoplanet host star YZ Cet, based on near-infrared observations obtained with the SpectroPolarimètre InfraRouge (SPIRou)…

Long-term X-ray variability of the multiple-planet host L 98-59: Hints of an activity cycle

I. Pillitteri, S. Bellotti, S. Benatti +7

High-energy irradiation in X-rays and UV (XUV) can transform the planetary atmospheres through photoevaporation and photochemistry. This is more crucial for M stars, whose habitabl…

Spectropolarimetric characterisation of exoplanet host stars in preparation of the mission II. The magnetised wind environment of TOI-1860, DS Tuc A, and HD 63433

S. Bellotti, A. Lavail, D. Evensberget +10

We update the status of the spectropolarimetric campaign dedicated to characterise the magnetic field properties of a sample of known exoplanet-hosting stars included in the curren…

Evaluating Star-Planet Interactions with Zeeman Doppler Imaging: Case Study in YZ Ceti

J. Sebastian Pineda, Stefano Bellotti, Jackie Villadsen +3

The recent detections of radio emission from the nearby exoplanet host, YZ Ceti, suggest that the star is possibly interacting with its rocky innermost planet. These radio emission…

A magnetic field study of two fast-rotating, radio bright M dwarfs. StKM 1-1262 and V374 Peg

S. Bellotti, P. I. Cristofari, J. R. Callingham +8

Radio observations at low frequencies are sensitive to the magnetic activity of stars and the plasma environment surrounding them. The accurate interpretation of the processes unde…

Radio Burst from a Stellar Coronal Mass Ejection

J. R. Callingham, C. Tasse, R. Keers +15

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are massive expulsions of magnetised plasma from a star, and are the largest contributors to space weather in the Solar System. CMEs are theorized to…

Measuring the magnetic fields in the chromospheres of low-mass stars

Tianqi Cang, Pascal Petit, Jean-François Donati +11

Magnetic fields in the upper atmospheres of solar-like stars are believed to provide an enormous amount of energy to power the hot coronae and drive large-scale eruptions that coul…

Chromaticity of stellar activity in radial velocities : Anti-correlated families of lines on the M dwarf EV Lac with SPIRou and SOPHIE

Pierre Larue, Xavier Delfosse, Andres Carmona +33

Context. In the search for exoplanets using radial velocities (RV), stellar activity has become one of the main limiting factors for detectability. Fortunately, activity-induced RV…

Rotational modulation and long-term evolution of the small-scale magnetic fields of M dwarfs observed with SPIRou

P. I. Cristofari, J. -F. Donati, S. Bellotti +7

M dwarfs are known to host magnetic fields, impacting exoplanet studies and playing a key role in stellar and planetary formation and evolution. Observations revealed the long-term…

The magnetic and spin-down properties of slowly rotating fully convective M dwarfs

Victor See, Louis Amard, Stefano Bellotti +19

The evolution of the magnetism, winds and rotation of low-mass stars are all linked. One of the most common ways to probe the magnetic properties of low-mass stars is with the Zeem…

Evolving magnetic lives of Sun-like stars. I. Characterisation of the large-scale magnetic field with Zeeman-Doppler imaging

S. Bellotti, T. Lueftinger, S. Boro Saikia +6

Planets orbiting young, solar-type stars are embedded in a more energetic environment than that of the solar neighbourhood. They experience harsher conditions due to enhanced stell…

Is planetary inward migration responsible for GJ 504's fast rotation and bright X-ray luminosity? New constraints from eROSITA

C. Pezzotti, G. Buldgen, E. Magaudda +4

The discovery of an increasing variety of exoplanets in very close orbits around their host stars raised many questions about how stars and planets interact, and to which extent ho…
