A single power law for the TRAPPIST-1 flare distribution across four orders of magnitude in energy

Valeriy Vasilyev, Alexander I. Shapiro, Nadiia Kostogryz +10

TRAPPIST-1 is an ultra-cool dwarf that flares frequently. These flares shape the surrounding planets' high-energy irradiation environments, with consequences for atmospheric chemis…

Sensitivity of spectral lines to granulation: from the Sun to K-type stars

V. Vasilyev, K. Sowmya, A. I. Shapiro +7

Stellar granulation produces radial-velocity (RV) jitter at the 1 m/s level in Sun-like stars, limiting Earth-analog detection. A route beyond this limit is to weight spectral line…
