A Semi-Empirical Estimate of Solar EUV Evolution from 10 Myr to 10 Gyr

Kevin France, Girish Duvvuri, Cynthia Froning +9

The extreme-ultraviolet (EUV; 100 -- 911 Å) spectra of F, G, K, and M stars provide diagnostics of the stellar chromosphere through the corona, with line and continuum formation te…

Short-Term Balmer Line Emission Variability in M Dwarfs

Aylin Garcia Soto, Girish M. Duvvuri, Elisabeth R. Newton +3

M Dwarfs make up the majority of stars, offering an avenue for discovering exoplanets due to their smaller sizes. However, their magnetic activity poses challenges for exoplanet de…
