X-ray Emission from Nearby M-dwarfs: the Super-saturation Phenomenon
A rotation rate and X-ray luminosity analysis is presented for rapidly rotating single and binary M-dwarf systems. X-ray luminosities for the majority of both single & binary M-dwarf systems with periods below ≃ 5−6 days (equatorial velocities, Veq∼>6 km s) are consistent with the current rotation-activity paradigm, and appear to saturate at about 10 of the stellar bolometric luminosity. The si...
متن کاملX-ray Emission from Old and Intermediate Age Brown Dwarfs
We report on two recent XMM-Newton observations of Brown Dwarfs in the Pleiades cluster and in the field aiming to constrain the age dependence of X-ray emission from substellar objects.
متن کاملX - ray emission from the stellar population in M 32
Using Chandra observations, we study the X-ray emission of the stellar population in the compact dwarf elliptical galaxy M32. The proximity of M32 allows one to resolve all bright point sources with luminosities higher than 8 × 10 33 erg s −1 in the 0.5–7 keV band. The remaining (unresolved) emission closely follows the galaxy's optical light and is characterized by an emissivity per unit stell...
متن کاملThe MEarth project: searching for transiting habitable super-Earths around nearby M-dwarfs
Due to their small radii, M-dwarfs are very promising targets to search for transiting super-Earths, with a planet of 2 Earth radii orbiting an M5 dwarf in the habitable zone giving rise to a 0.5% photometric signal, with a period of two weeks. This can be detected from the ground using modest-aperture telescopes by targeting samples of nearby M-dwarfs. Such planets would be very amenable to fo...
متن کاملExcess Hard X - ray Emission from the Obscured Low Luminosity AGN In the Nearby Galaxy M 51 ( NGC 5194 )
We observed the nearby galaxy M 51 (NGC 5194) with BeppoSAX. The X-ray properties of the nucleus below 10 keV are almost the same as the ASCA results regarding the hard component and the neutral Fe Kα line, but the intensity is about half of the ASCA 1993 data. Beyond this, in the BeppoSAX PDS data, we detected a bright hard X-ray emission component which dominates above 10 keV. The 10 – 100 ke...
