Rotation and flares of M dwarfs with habitable zones accessible to TESS

We present an analysis of starspot modulation and flares in the TESS lightcurves of 112 M dwarfs with a TESS magnitude \(\leq 11.5\) that are listed in the TESS Habitable Zone Star Catalog (HZCat, Kaltenegger et al. 2019). Our sample is of particular interest since it comprises stars in the HZCat with sufficiently long TESS observation times for planets to be detected in the entire habitable zone. Understanding the magnetic activity of such stars is crucial for exoplanet characterization since an active, flaring host star might influence the planet’s habitability.

We detected more than 2000 flares in this sample and we discuss the relation of flares with spectral type and rotation period. We also present flare frequency distributions (FFDs) and the flux reaching the habitable zone during flare events.
