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…
Constraining the Mass Loss and the Kinetic Energy of Solar Coronal Mass Ejections with Far-Ultraviolet Flares
Nuri Park, Evgenya L. Shkolnik, Joe Llama
Stellar eruptive events, such as flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), can affect planetary habitability by disturbing the stability of their atmospheres. For instance, strong…
Building SPARCS, an Ultraviolet Science CubeSat for Exoplanet Habitability Studies, Technology Advancements, and Mission Training
Evgenya L. Shkolnik, David R. Ardila, Logan Jensen +17
The Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS) is a NASA-funded 6U-CubeSat mission designed to monitor ultraviolet (UV) radiation from low-mass stars. These stars' relatively h…
Signatures of Star-planet Interactions
Evgenya L. Shkolnik, Joe Llama
Planets interact with their host stars through gravity, radiation and magnetic fields, and for those giant planets that orbit their stars within ~10 stellar radii (~0.1 AU for a su…
