The Solar Neighborhood LVI: The RMSTAR Catalog of the Nearest 3352 M Dwarf Systems and 305 of their Wide Companions

Madison R. LeBlanc, Tim M. Johns, Todd J. Henry +8

We present the RMSTAR (RECONS M STAR) catalog, a 25 pc volume-limited and effectively volume-complete sample of the nearest 3352 M dwarf systems and their 305 wide stellar and 9 br…

First Detection of an Ultracool Dwarf at 340 MHz: VLITE Observations of EI Cancri AB

Michele L. Silverstein, Tracy E. Clarke, Wendy M. Peters +3

Magnetically driven phenomena such as flaring events and aurorae lead ultracool dwarfs to emit at radio frequencies. Despite decades of scrutiny, a comprehensive physical understan…

Are We There Yet? Challenges in Quantifying the Frequency of Earth Analogs in the Habitable Zone

Rachel B. Fernandes, Samson Johnson, Galen J. Bergsten +43

Searching for life elsewhere in the universe is one of the most highly prioritized pursuits in astronomy today. However, the ability to observe evidence of Earth-like life through…

A Radio Flaring, Chromospherically-Inactive K Dwarf

Dale A. Frail, Scott D. Hyman, Michele L. Silverstein +10

We report on an unusual radio source J180526-292953, initially identified as a steep spectrum, polarized point source toward the Galactic bulge and found to coincide with the nearb…

An Image-Based Search for Pulsar Candidates in the MeerKAT Bulge Survey

Dale A. Frail, Emil Polisensky, Scott D. Hyman +13

We report on the results of an image-based search for pulsar candidates toward the Galactic bulge. We used mosaic images from the MeerKAT radio telescope, that were taken as part o…

A Multiwavelength Survey of Nearby M dwarfs: Optical and Near-Ultraviolet Flares and Activity with Contemporaneous TESS, Kepler/K2, \textit{Swift}, and HST Observations

Rishi R. Paudel, Thomas Barclay, Allison Youngblood +14

We present a comprehensive multiwavelength investigation into flares and activity in nearby M~dwarf stars. We leverage the most extensive contemporaneous dataset obtained through t…
