Like all stars, 51 Peg has gases in its atmosphere that intercept specific wavelengths of light and keep them from reaching Earth. When you smear the starlight into its constituent colors with a spectromet ...

... M dwarfs are known to be highly active early in their life, often producing giant and frequent flares that could scorch planets nearby. The M dwarf stars also gravitationally interact with their planets, causing tides that heat the planet and often cause their rotations to be ‘tidally locked’, which ...
