The analysis and papers from Red Dots #1 (2017 campaign) are progressing (a bit slower than anticipated), but science publications and results expected soon. In the meantime, Red Dots #2 starts today (July 8th) at […]
We have been a bit busy organizing the data, but the final HARPS dataset from Red Dots is now available for downloads at https://spasrv09.ph.qmul.ac.uk/owncloud/index.php/s/6CChGuyxNjPQRnP If you want make use of the data for scientific publications, […]
Time has flown so fast! It has been more than a 100! days since we started the photometric follow-up of the three RedDots2017 objects back in mid June. HARPS spectroscopic observations are just over, and […]
by Guillem Anglada-Escude, Mario Damasso & Fabio del Sordo As featured in the current ESO picture of the Week, Proxima Centauri keeps showing extra variability beyond the wobble caused by Proxima b. The nature of […]
With the number of observations from volunteer observers rapidly passing the 20,000 mark in the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) database we thought it was time to meet some more of our dedicated […]
Although is holiday period for the Northern observers and followers of the blog, the Red Dots photometric follow-up goes on, and we hope that you enjoy reading our new updates on your holiday retreat, while […]
Since the start of the campaign on 19th June we have had over 15000 photometric observations logged to the AAVSO database for our three target stars from volunteer astronomers all around the world. Access to […]
Weather has improved in the last few weeks compared to June, and we have now (August 10) we have reached 33 HARPS epochs of the ~50 possible ones for Proxima, Barnard’s and Ross 154. Data […]
It has been six weeks since we started the photometric follow-up campaign and here there are some updates and exciting plots from observatories involved: SPACE Observatory Check a strong flare caught in action! It was […]
Photometry shows the changes in luminosity taking place in a star, which in M stars are mainly due to stellar activity. They can be shown as rotational modulation in the light curves as a consequence […]
