Ripples in Time: The Transient Nature of Mysterious M Stars
Today’s authors, kick back, relax, and try to understand how some mysterious M dwarfs change over time.

The oscillation modes of stars can tell us about their interior structure. However, strong magnetic fields can damp out these modes and make them undetectable. These authors look at two types of stars with oscillations to see what their magnetic fields are like.
Can planetary magnetospheres be used as gravitational wave detectors? Find out in today’s paper!
Ultracool dwarfs seem to fill a transition regime between brown dwarfs and stars. High precision observations of the ultracool dwarf J1835+3259 suggests its emission might be even more planet-like than originally thought.
Stars of various temperatures and sizes slow down at different rates– and to different extents. The authors of this paper address this distinction in a regime never before addressed observationally.
Magnetic field lines of protoplanetary disks can tangle up like hair! Today’s bite presents exciting observations of such tangled field lines.
