M dwarf stars are the most common stars in the Galaxy, dominating the population of the Galaxy by numbers at faint magnitudes. Precise and accurate stellar parameters for M dwarfs are of crucial importance for many studies. However, the atmospheric parameters of M dwarf stars are difficult to be determined. In this paper, we present a catalog of the spectroscopic stellar parameters ($T_{eff}$ and [M/H]) of $sim$ 300,000 M dwarf stars observed by both LAMOST and Gaia using Stellar Label Machine (SLAM). We train a SLAM model using LAMOST spectra with APOGEE Data Release 16 (DR16) labels with $2800 lt T_{eff} lt 4500$K and $-2 lt [M/H] lt 0.5$ dex. The SLAM $T_{eff}$ is in agreement to within $sim 50$K compared to the previous study determined by APOGEE observation, and SLAM [M/H] agree within 0.12 dex compared to the APOGEE observation. We also set up a SLAM model trained by BT-Settl atmospheric model, with random uncertainties (in cross-validation) to 60K and agree within $sim 90$K compared to previous study.

We present spectroscopic determinations of the effective temperatures, surface gravities and metallicities for 21 M-dwarfs observed at high-resolution (R $sim$ 22,500) in the textit{H}-band as part of the SDSS-IV APOGEE survey. The atmospheric parame ters and metallicities are derived from spectral syntheses with 1-D LTE plane parallel MARCS models and the APOGEE atomic/molecular line list, together with up-to-date H$_{2}$O and FeH molecular line lists. Our sample range in $T_{rm eff}$ from $sim$ 3200 to 3800K, where eleven stars are in binary systems with a warmer (FGK) primary, while the other 10 M-dwarfs have interferometric radii in the literature. We define an $M_{K_{S}}$--Radius calibration based on our M-dwarf radii derived from the detailed analysis of APOGEE spectra and Gaia DR2 distances, as well as a mass-radius relation using the spectroscopically-derived surface gravities. A comparison of the derived radii with interferometric values from the literature finds that the spectroscopic radii are slightly offset towards smaller values, with $Delta$ = -0.01 $pm$ 0.02 $R{star}$/$R_{odot}$. In addition, the derived M-dwarf masses based upon the radii and surface gravities tend to be slightly smaller (by $sim$5-10%) than masses derived for M-dwarf members of eclipsing binary systems for a given stellar radius. The metallicities derived for the 11 M-dwarfs in binary systems, compared to metallicities obtained for their hotter FGK main-sequence primary stars from the literature, shows excellent agreement, with a mean difference of [Fe/H](M-dwarf - FGK primary) = +0.04 $pm$ 0.18 dex, confirming the APOGEE metallicity scale derived here for M-dwarfs.
M dwarf stars are currently the main targets in searches for potentially habitable planets. However, their winds have been suggested to be harmful to planetary atmospheres. Here, in order to better understand the winds of M dwarfs and also infer thei r physical properties, we perform a one-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic parametric study of winds of M dwarfs that are heated by dissipation of Alfven waves. These waves are triggered by sub-surface convective motions and propagate along magnetic field lines. Here, we vary the magnetic field strength and density at the wind base (chromosphere), while keeping the same relative wave amplitude ($0.1 B_0$) and dissipation lenghtscale. We find that our winds very quickly reach isothermal temperatures with mass-loss rates proportional to base density square. We compare our results with Parker wind models and find that, in the high-beta regime, both models agree. However, in the low-beta regime, the Parker wind underestimates the terminal velocity by around one order of magnitude and mass-loss rate by several orders of magnitude. We also find that M dwarfs could have chromospheres extending to 18% to 180% of the stellar radius. We apply our model to the planet-hosting star GJ 436 and find, from X-ray observational constraints, $dot{M}<7.6times 10^{-15},M_{odot}~text{yr}^{-1}$. This is in agreement with values derived from the Lyman-alpha transit of GJ 436b, indicating that spectroscopic planetary transits could be used as a way to study stellar wind properties.
Gaia will identify several 1e5 white dwarfs, most of which will be in the solar neighborhood at distances of a few hundred parsecs. Ground-based optical follow-up spectroscopy of this sample of stellar remnants is essential to unlock the enormous sci entific potential it holds for our understanding of stellar evolution, and the Galactic formation history of both stars and planets.
Bow shocks can be formed around planets due to their interaction with the coronal medium of the host stars. The net velocity of the particles impacting on the planet determines the orientation of the shock. At the Earths orbit, the (mainly radial) so lar wind is primarily responsible for the formation of a shock facing towards the Sun. However, for close-in planets that possess high Keplerian velocities and are frequently located at regions where the host stars wind is still accelerating, a shock may develop ahead of the planet. If the compressed material is able to absorb stellar radiation, then the signature of bow shocks may be observed during transits. Bow-shock models have been investigated in a series of papers (Vidotto et al. 2010, 2011,a,b; Llama et al. 2011) for known transiting systems. Once the signature of a bow-shock is observed, one can infer the magnetic field intensity of the transiting planet. Here, we investigate the potential to use this model to detect magnetic fields of (hypothetical) planets orbiting inside the habitable zone of M-dwarf stars. For these cases, we show, by means of radiative transfer simulations, that the detection of bow-shocks of planets surrounding M-dwarf stars may be more difficult than for the case of close-in giant planets orbiting solar-type stars.

We present a spectroscopic catalog of 67082 M dwarfs from the LAMOST pilot survey. For each spectrum of the catalog, spectral subtype, radial velocity, equivalent width of H${alpha}$, a number of prominent molecular band indices and the metal sensiti ve parameter $zeta$ are provided . Spectral subtype have been estimated by a remedied Hammer program (Original Hammer: Covey et al. 2007), in which indices are reselected to obtain more accurate auto-classified spectral subtypes. All spectra in this catalog have been visually inspected to confirm the spectral subtypes. Radial velocities have been well measured by our developed program which uses cross-correlation method and estimates uncertainty of radial velocity as well. We also examine the magnetic activity properties of M dwarfs traced by H${alpha}$ emission line. The molecular band indices included in this catalog are temperature or metallicity sensitive and can be used for future analysis of the physical properties of M dwarfs. The catalog is available on the website url{http://sciwiki.lamost.org/MCatalogPilot/}.
