Increased Stellar Activity in the Eclipsing Binary CM Draconis
Abstract
CM Draconis is one of the few known M-dwarf eclipsing binary systems. It has been the target for a search for planetary transits by our group and others. During the monitoring of this system it went through a period of high stellar activity, with flares occurring clustered in one orbital phase range, from 0.25 to 0.55. Most of them occurred in the lower part of that range and all over a span of less than a week. We present the results of the last two years of monitoring CM Dra.
