The time scales of variability in active M dwarfs can be related to their various physical parameters. Thus, it is important to understand such variability to decipher the physics of these objects. In this study, we have performed the low…

We present a study of the dynamics and magnetic activity of M dwarfs using the largest spectroscopic sample of low-mass stars ever assembled. The age at which strong surface magnetic activity (as traced by H-alpha) ceases in M dwarfs has…

Recent observations show that chromospheric activity in late-M and L dwarfs is much lower than in the earlier M types, in spite of comparatively rapid rotation. We investigate the possibility that this drop-off in activity results from the…

We demonstrate that for weak flares the dependence on spottedness can be rather weak. The fact is that such flares can occur both in small and large active regions. At the same time, powerful large flares of classes M and X occur much more…

We present the first rates of flares from M dwarf stars in both red optical and near infrared (NIR) filters. We have studied ~50,000 M dwarfs from the SDSS Stripe 82 area, and 1,321 M dwarfs from the 2MASS Calibration Scan Point Source…

Empirical correlations between stellar parameters such as rotation or radius and magnetic activity diagnostics require estimates of the effective temperatures and the stellar radii. The aim of this study is to propose simple methods that…

We use K2 short cadence data obtained over a duration of 50 days during Campaign 0 to observe two M1V dwarf stars, TYC 1330-879-1 and RXJ 0626+2349. We provide an overview of our data analysis, in particular, making a comparison between…

Planets that closely orbit magnetically active stars are thought to be able to interact with their magnetic fields in a way that modulates stellar activity. This modulation in phase with the planetary orbit, such as enhanced X-ray activity,…

Flare flux reflect contribution from active regions rather than the whole hemisphere of a star. Unlike the amplitude of light-curves caused by starspots, the flare detection is independent of inclination. The two valuable properties of…
