A photometric study of TRAPPIST-1 analogues in TESS data
Krisztián Vida, Konkoly Observatory (MTA CSFK)
Based on the Gaia database we searched for nearby late-type dwarfs, similar to the host star of the TRAPPIST-1 system. We analyzed light curves of these targets, derived from TESS full-frame images with a cadence of 30 minutes. In this talk I will discuss the rotation and magnetic activity of these systems, and its possible effects on their habitability.
