Quantifying the Effect of Short-timescale Stellar Activity Upon Transit Detection in M Dwarfs
Dana Clarice Yaptangco, Sarah Ballard, Jason Dittmann
M dwarf stars comprise 70-80% of the galaxy's stars and host most of its rocky planets. They also importantly differ from Sunlike stars in that they are "active" for billions of ye…
