Complex Rotational Modulation of Rapidly Rotating M Stars Observed with TESS

Complex Rotational Modulation of Rapidly Rotating M Stars Observed with TESS

We have searched for short periodicities in the light curves of stars with T eff cooler than 4000 K made from 2-minute cadence data obtained in Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite sectors 1 and 2. Herein we report the discovery of 10 rapidly rotating M dwarfs with highly structured rotational modu...
