We present 11.7-micron observations of nine late-type dwarfs obtained at the Keck I 10-meter telescope in December 2002 and April 2003. Our targets were selected for their youth or apparent IRAS 12-micron excess. For all nine sources, excess infrared emission is not detected. We find that stellar wind drag can dominate the circumstellar grain removal and plausibly explain the dearth of M Dwarf systems older than 10 Myr with currently detected infrared excesses. We predict M dwarfs possess fractional infrared excess on the order of L_{IR}/L_{*}\sim10^{-6} and this may be detectable with future efforts.

  1. RedDots: Magnetic field of the nearby active M dwarf GJ 729, and a search for companions

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    GJ 729 exhibits a weak, evolving large-scale magnetic field (50-145 G) and a persistent ~7 d radial velocity signal that could be a ~1.5-2 Earth-mass planet or residual stellar activity.
