# TESS Program G022061 Title: Studying Pulsating M Dwarfs Through The Eyes Of TESS PI: Jao, Wei-Chun - Georgia State University Type: SMALL Summary: The unprecedented high precision of parallaxes in Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) reveals a new feature in the lower main sequence of the H-R Diagram (HRD). Theoretical models predict that M dwarfs in this narrow transition zone are in a pulsating phase because of the mixing of 3He during the merger of envelope and core convection zones. We expect that these pulsating stars will show high photometric variability in the form of flares because of unstable magnetic configurations. Here we request to add 107 carefully selected targets in addition to those already being observed by TESS core science targets that lie in this region in the HRD. We propose to acquire short cadence, high precision TESS photometry to study stellar variability levels for these stars and will provide the first systemati. # Sector 014 targets observed (9) 312237104,303.3613,36.8768,12.57,G022061 59256820,297.102,32.8434,12.74,G022061 337785911,293.5681,25.8972,12.68,G022061 396940678,309.5924,25.0178,12.42,G022061 352231179,291.9305,57.4658,11.84,G022061 313740600,273.4899,43.7724,12.51,G022061 193565852,306.0025,43.9823,12.51,G022061 278350444,307.4997,48.1895,11.97,G022061 142782968,153.5445,75.0468,12.54,G022061 # Sector 015 targets observed (5) 193565852,306.0025,43.9823,12.51,G022061 312237104,303.3613,36.8768,12.57,G022061 125671886,317.3187,28.2923,11.68,G022061 396940678,309.5924,25.0178,12.42,G022061 352231179,291.9305,57.4658,11.84,G022061 # Sector 016 targets observed (3) 352231179,291.9305,57.4658,11.84,G022061 278350444,307.4997,48.1895,11.97,G022061 199634258,250.4664,55.1729,10.51,G022061 # Sector 017 targets observed (7) 242885369,9.4493,19.7554,12.23,G022061 268127628,11.3803,12.4695,12.44,G022061 385113478,20.3296,15.2928,12.85,G022061 283390114,12.4864,40.3443,12.74,G022061 305434778,12.7345,48.2754,12.42,G022061;G022238 12868098,343.3141,65.5037,12.54,G022061 352231179,291.9305,57.4658,11.84,G022061
