The Rotation and Galactic Kinematics of Mid M Dwarfs in the Solar Neighborhood

The Rotation and Galactic Kinematics of Mid M Dwarfs in the Solar Neighborhood

Rotation is a directly observable stellar property, and it drives magnetic field generation and activity through a magnetic dynamo. Main-sequence stars with masses below approximately 0.35 ⊙ (mid-to-late M dwarfs) are fully convective, and are expected to have a different type of dynamo mechanism th...
