Small Star Opportunities

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The small star opportunity usually refers to considering low-mass stars of M dwarf spectral type in order to improve the prospects of detecting low-mass exoplanets using Doppler and transit surveys. Besides exoplanet detection and atmospheric characterization, small stars also offer multiple opportunities to investigate other questions, including key aspects of planet formation. This chapter discusses the important questions, opportunities and challenges in this direction.
