AbstractWe investigated the large scale atmospheric circulation of Gl581g, a potentially habitable planet around an M dwarf star, using an idealized dry global circulation model (GCM) with simplified thermal forcing as a first step towards a systematic extended parameter study. The results are compared with the work of Joshi et al. (1997) who investigated a tidally-locked habitable Earth analogue with less than half the rotation period of Gl581g. The extent, form and strength of the atmospheric circulation in each model generally agree with each other, even though the models differ in key parameters such as planetary radius, surface gravity, forcing scheme and rotation period. The substellar point is associated with an uprising direct circulation-branch of a Hadley-like cell with return flow over the poles. It is compelling to assume that the substellar point of a tidally locked terrestrial exoplanet behaves dynamically like the Earth's tropic associated with clouds and precipitation, making it an ideal target for habitability.

AbstractThe accuracy with which infrared photometry can be carried out is currently limited by poor definition of the instrumental system and by the accuracy of the available standard stars. We present new colour transformations between the CIT J, H, K photometric system and systems currently in use at Cerro Tololo, Mauna Kea and Kitt Peak. The precision of the J, H, K data for some of the stars observed by Elias et al. is improved and the system extended to fainter stars suitable for use with larger telescopes and/or infrared arrays. Evidence of infrared variability has been detected for one M dwarf star in our programme.

Abstract The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) produces a large number of single-transit event candidates, since the mission monitors most stars for only ∼27 days. Such candidates correspond to long-period planets or eclipsing binaries. Using the TESS Sector 1 full-frame images, we identified a 7750 ppm single-transit event with a duration of 7 hours around the moderately evolved F-dwarf star TIC-238855958 (Tmag=10.23, Teff=6280±85 K). Using archival WASP photometry we constrained the true orbital period to one of three possible values. We detected a subsequent transit-event with NGTS, which revealed the orbital period to be 38.20 d. Radial velocity measurements from the CORALIE Spectrograph show the secondary object has a mass of M2= 0.148 ± 0.003 M⊙, indicating this system is an F-M eclipsing binary. The radius of the M-dwarf companion is R2 = 0.171 ± 0.003 R⊙, making this one of the most well characterised stars in this mass regime. We find that its radius is 2.3-σ lower than expected from stellar evolution models.

Since the acoustic heating theory (c.f. Ulmschneider 1979) has been proven successful for the solar chromosphere, it was common practice to extend this concept to other stars. However, as it appeares from observed chromospheric and coronal emissions, the usual theoretical acoustic fluxes for red dwarf star, particularly, are too small to account for the heating of chromospheres and coronae (e.g. Blanco et al 1974; Vaiana et al, 198l) . It is therefore the intention of this paper to discuss improvements on the current model calculations for turbulent sound generation from outer convection zones.
