Low-amplitude, short-timescale photometric variability in a sample of M dwarf stars

  • 1. INAF – Catania Astrophysical Observatory,

Description

If we want to understand magnetic reconnection in stars, as well as planet atmospheres and habitability (particularly around cool, active hosts), we have to understand stellar flares.
As part of the CHEOPS GTO program, we are using the highest time cadence the CHEOPS and TESS space telescopes are capable of to probe white-light flare detailed morphologies in a sample of ~130 late K and M stars.

Notes

GBr, IPa and GSc acknowledge support from CHEOPS ASI-INAF agreement n. 2019-29-HH.0.
