A FIRST LOOK AT ROTATION IN INACTIVE LATE-TYPE M DWARFS

We have examined the relationship between rotation and activity in 14 late-type (M6–M7) M dwarfs, using high-resolution spectra taken at the W. M. Keck Observatory and flux-calibrated spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Most were selected to be inactive at a spectral type where strong Hα emis...
