THE IMPACT OF STELLAR ROTATION ON THE DETECTABILITY OF HABITABLE PLANETS AROUND M DWARFS

THE IMPACT OF STELLAR ROTATION ON THE DETECTABILITY OF HABITABLE PLANETS AROUND M DWARFS

Stellar activity and rotation frustrate the detection of exoplanets through the radial velocity technique. This effect is particularly of concern for M dwarfs, which can remain magnetically active for billions of years. We compile rotation periods for late-type stars and for the M dwarf planet-host...
