We analyze the K2 light curve of the TRAPPIST-1 system. The Fourier analysis of the data suggests Prot = 3.295 ± 0.003 days. The light curve shows several flares, of which we analyzed 42 events with integrated flare energies of 1.26 × 1030–1.24 × 1033 erg. Approximately 12% of the flares were complex, multi-peaked eruptions. The flaring and the possible rotational modulation shows no obvious correlation. The flaring activity of TRAPPIST-1 probably continuously alters the atmospheres of the…

Confirmation of a Dynamical Model for the TRAPPIST-1 Exoplanetary System

We present a new transit of TRAPPIST-1 d from 2021 August 25. The measured mid-point of this transit agrees with the prediction from a recently published dynamical model for the TRAPPIST-1 system and…

On the Age of the TRAPPIST-1 System

The nearby (d = 12 pc) M8 dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 (2MASS J23062928−0502285) hosts a compact system of at least seven exoplanets with sizes similar to Earth. Given its importance for testing planet…

EvryFlare. iv. Detection of Periodicity in Flare Occurrence from Cool Stars with TESS

Phased flaring, or the periodic occurrence of stellar flares, may probe electromagnetic star−planet interaction (SPI), binary interaction, or magnetic conditions in spots. For the first time, we…

A Reanalysis of the Fundamental Parameters and Age of TRAPPIST-1

We present the distance-calibrated spectral energy distribution (SED) of TRAPPIST-1 using a new medium-resolution (R ∼ 6000) near-infrared (NIR) Folded-port InfraRed Echellette (FIRE) spectrum and…
