THE Hα EMISSION OF NEARBY M DWARFS AND ITS RELATION TO STELLAR ROTATION

The high-energy emission from low-mass stars is mediated by the magnetic dynamo. Although the mechanisms by which fully convective stars generate large-scale magnetic fields are not well understood, it is clear that, as for solar-type stars, stellar rotation plays a pivotal role. We present 270 new...
