Quantifying the Effect of Short-timescale Stellar Activity Upon Transit Detection in M Dwarfs
M dwarf stars comprise 70%–80% of the galaxy's stars and host most of its rocky planets. They also differ from Sunlike stars in that they are “active” for billions of years or more: rotating quickly, flaring often, and emitting large amounts of UV and X-ray light. The effects of stellar activit...
