Claims

C1strongest claim

We report a wide diversity of magnetic topologies among the 6 M dwarfs, with 3 main results: (1) Rapidly-rotating (Prot < 2 d) early M dwarfs can generate dipole-dominated fields of moderate intensity, similar to less massive mid-M dwarfs; (2) rapidly-rotating mid-M dwarfs can generate non-axisymmetric large-scale fields with a significant toroidal component; (3) a moderately-rotating (Prot ~ 17 d) early M dwarf shows a surprisingly weak large-scale field.

C2weakest assumption

Zeeman Doppler Imaging reconstructions from the available phase coverage and LSD profiles accurately recover the true large-scale topologies without major bias from incomplete sampling, small-scale field leakage, or assumptions about field geometry.

C3one line summary

Six M dwarfs exhibit diverse large-scale magnetic topologies, with fast rotators showing dipole or non-axisymmetric toroidal fields and a moderate rotator showing weak fields.
