Leveraging Impact Parameter to Mitigate the Transit Light Source Effect: Early Insights from TRAPPIST-1
Ana Glidden, Alexander I. Shapiro, Sara Seager +19
Stellar activity complicates exoplanet transmission spectra, particularly for smaller planets around M dwarfs with JWST. The transit light source (TLS) effect, the imprinting of sp…
The rotation-magnetism relationship in solar-type stars. Constraining magnetic flux emergence rates
Emre Isik, Sami K. Solanki, Natalie A. Krivova +1
The rotation-activity relationship of G-type stars results from surface magnetic fields emerging from the interior. How the magnetic flux and its emergence rate scale with rotation…
Simulations of facular magnetic fields on cool stars I: Main sequence stars with solar metallicity
Tanayveer Singh Bhatia, Robert H. Cameron, Sami K. Solanki +4
Stellar convection in the presence of magnetic field affects the emergent intensity, as well as the structure and evolution of cool main-sequence dwarfs. We aim to understand the e…
Flares on TRAPPIST-1 reveal the spectrum of magnetic features on its surface
Valeriy Vasilyev, Nadiia Kostogryz, Alexander I. Shapiro +11
TRAPPIST-1 is an M8 dwarf hosting seven known exoplanets and is currently one of the most frequently observed targets of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). However, it is notor…
Detectability of Solar Rotation Period Across Various Wavelengths
Valeriy Vasilyev, Timo Reinhold, Alexander I. Shapiro +3
The light curves of old G-dwarfs obtained in the visible and near-infrared wavelength ranges are highly irregular. This significantly complicates the detectability of the rotation…
Sun-like stars produce superflares roughly once per century
Valeriy Vasilyev, Timo Reinhold, Alexander I. Shapiro +7
Stellar superflares are energetic outbursts of electromagnetic radiation, similar to solar flares but releasing more energy, up to erg on main sequence stars. It is unkno…
