# TESS Program G022056 Title: The Driving Mechanism For Magnetic Field Generation In Low Mass Stars PI: Doyle, Lauren - Armagh Observatory And Planetarium Type: SMALL Summary: Detailed studies of the Sun have shown sunspots and solar flares are closely correlated. It is widely thought that the rotational modulation seen in late type dwarfs is due to a dominant starspot rotating into and out of view. We therefore naively predict that flares would be observed more often at rotation flux minimum. However, our observations using Kepler/K2 and now TESS have shown that flares show no preference for rotation phase. This makes us reassess how large scale magnetic fields are generated on low mass, fully convective stars. Here we bid for 2 min cadence observations of 155 low mass stars in TESS Cycle 2. With this increased sample we will search for correlations between activity, spectral type, rotation period and age. # Sector 014 targets observed (12) 91215017,302.0768,33.3056,11.81,G022252;G022056 353011288,288.6596,19.3201,9.15,G022056 68978927,291.7059,16.716,10.57,G022056 157853745,280.404,39.7024,10.86,G022252;G022076;G022198;G022056 164458193,283.1424,45.6448,12.37,G022198;G022056 273589987,297.7903,46.4848,10.25,G022076;G022198;G022056 230120143,250.0821,67.6033,11.98,G022164;G022076;G022198;G022056 233068870,270.5716,64.2602,10.34,G022252;G022076;G022198;G022113;G022056 406857100,274.7443,66.1902,10.53,G022076;G022198;G022056 288634843,278.9698,80.0955,10.59,G022198;G022056 142439883,145.7048,70.038,8.86,G022198;G022171;G022080;G022238;G022056 99937206,169.9809,65.8475,7.54,G022145;G022198;G022080;G022056 # Sector 015 targets observed (9) 91215017,302.0768,33.3057,11.81,G022252;G022056 25266621,319.0255,29.8643,10.12,G022252;G022056 283410775,330.307,28.3072,9.33,G022252;G022198;G022056 273589987,297.7903,46.4848,10.25,G022076;G022198;G022056 233068870,270.5717,64.2602,10.34,G022252;G022076;G022198;G022113;G022056 406857100,274.7444,66.1902,10.53,G022076;G022198;G022056 230120143,250.0821,67.6033,11.98,G022164;G022076;G022198;G022056 298164374,219.2272,58.3447,9.54,G022198;G022056 157873245,191.4437,52.9221,11.7,G022056;G022198 # Sector 016 targets observed (8) 154101678,341.7018,44.3315,7.73,G022252;G022198;G022080;G022056 155113423,345.7177,43.6376,11.05,G022056;G022076;G022198;G022252 352503796,352.3508,41.4683,9.48,G022056 233068870,270.5717,64.2602,10.34,G022252;G022076;G022198;G022113;G022056 230120143,250.0821,67.6033,11.98,G022164;G022076;G022198;G022056 298164374,219.2272,58.3447,9.54,G022198;G022056 219824489,204.4167,48.131,11.78,G022198;G022056 28288523,223.7272,41.1475,11.95,G022056 # Sector 017 targets observed (10) 306123710,4.7258,27.8132,11.2,G022198;G022056 58100576,6.1491,30.0416,11.58,G022056;G022198 252110114,15.495,54.1821,11.68,G022076;G022252;G022198;G022056 352503796,352.3508,41.4683,9.48,G022056 272335628,356.0049,64.7419,9.46,G022056;G022198 435160829,346.5224,63.9259,9.06,G022125;G022252;G022113;G022056;G022198 406857100,274.7444,66.1901,10.53,G022076;G022198;G022056 288634843,278.9698,80.0955,10.59,G022198;G022056 230120143,250.0821,67.6033,11.98,G022164;G022076;G022198;G022056 233068870,270.5717,64.2602,10.34,G022252;G022076;G022198;G022113;G022056
