Arecibo Observations of Low-Mass Stars, Brown Dwarfs, and Exoplanets
Abstract
I will discuss the Arecibo programs designed to detect flaring radio emission from the very low-mass stars, the coolest brown dwarfs, and giant exoplanets. In particular, I will present the most recent detections of flares from two T-type brown dwarfs, which suggest that the same should be possible for hot, young exoplanets such as the relatively nearby HR8799 system. I will also discuss the results of a long-term monitoring of an M9-star, TVLM 513-46546, used as a proxy for the design of a larger M-dwarf monitoring project.
