Description
High resolution, high signal to noise spectral profiles of the 8498 and 8542 A lines of the Ca II infrared triplet (IRT) have been obtained for a sample of late type dwarfs, with a wide range of levels of chromospheric activity, in the spectral range F9 to K4/5. These profiles, and the difference profiles for selected active and quiescent objects of corresponding spectral type are presented. After absolute calibration in flux, advantage is taken of the high resolution and S/N ratios of the spectra to define several IRT indices of chromospheric activity, for a set of bandwidths between 0.2 A and 1 A about the line centers. Excellent correlations for active stars between the IRT and the Ca H indices and between the respective line widths are shown, which pertain despite the different depths of formation of the lines in the stellar chromospheres.

    Accurate modeling of the forward-scattering Hanle effect in the chromospheric Ca I 4227 Å line
    Context. Measurable linear scattering polarization signals have been predicted and detected at the solar disk center in the cores of chromospheric lines. These forward-scattering polarization signals, which are of high interest for magnetic field diagnostics, have always been modeled either under the assumption of complete frequency redistribution

    Hints of auroral and magnetospheric polarized radio emission from the scallop-shell star 2MASS J05082729–2101444
    Scallop-shell stars, a recently discovered class of young M dwarfs, show complex optical light curves that are characterized by periodic dips as well as other features that are stable over tens to hundreds of rotation cycles. The origin of these features is not well-understood. 2MASS J05082729‑2101444 is a ∼25 Myr old scallop-shell star that was

    Coronal and chromospheric activity of Teegarden's star
    Teegarden's star is a late-type M-dwarf planet host, typically showing only rather low levels of activity. In this paper we present an extensive characterisation of this activity at photospheric, chromospheric, and coronal levels. We specifically investigated TESS observations of Teegarden's star, which showed two very large flares with an
