Modeling the Magnetized Winds and Star-Planet Interactions of M-type Stars

The mass loss rate and wind properties of M-type stars are poorly constrained, but crucial for understanding the environment of their orbiting exoplanets. This work proposes a modeling strategy to estimate the mass loss rate, wind speed, and radiative losses of M-dwarf stellar winds, with a focus on the TRAPPIST-1 and Proxima Centauri systems.
