Photometric magnetic-activity metrics tested with the Sun: application to Kepler M dwarfs

García, Rafael A.; Mathur, Savita; Salabert, David +1 more

The Kepler mission has been providing high-quality photometric data leading to many breakthroughs in the exoplanet search and in stellar physics. Stellar magnetic activity results from the interaction between rotation, convection, and magnetic field. Constraining these processes is important if we want to better understand stellar magnetic activit…
