Variability Timescales of Hα on Active Mid-to-late M dwarfs

We present a study of the variation timescales of the chromospheric activity indicator H α on a sample of 13 fully convective, active mid-to-late M stars with masses between 0.1 and 0.3 solar masses. Our goal was to determine the dominant variability timescale and, by inference, a possible mechanism...
