Project Fulcrum
From High-Energy Particle Beam Heating in Stars to Ozone Destruction in Planets: NUV Spectra as the Fulcrum for a Comprehensive Understanding of Flaring M Dwarf Systems
Overview
Project Fulcrum is a Treasury Program (GO 17464) with the Hubble Space Telescope. The proposal team consisted of Adam Kowalski, Rachel Osten, Yuta Notsu, Isaiah Tristan, Antigona Segura, and Clara Brasseur. The data products will be made available through Zenodo upon publication of Paper 2, which will describe the entire flare sample.
Paper 1: Rising Near-Ultraviolet Spectra in Stellar Megaflares
Accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal. The specific dataset used in this paper is located at MAST here, and the model continuum spectra are available here.
