| Summary: | Stellar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are a growing research field, especially
during the past decade. The large number of so far detected exoplanets
raises the open question for the CME activity of stars, as CMEs may strongly
affect exoplanetary atmospheres. In addition, as CMEs contribute to stellar
mass and angular momentum loss and are therefore relevant for stellar
evolution, there is a need for a better characterization of this phenomenon.
In this article we review the different methodologies used up to now to
attempt the detection of stellar CMEs. We discuss the limitations of the
different methodologies and conclude with possible future perspectives of
this research field. |
