Surveying Stellar Shenanigans: Exploring M dwarf Flares for Exoplanetary Insights — This project will use NIRISS to observe M dwarf stellar flares, which disrupt stellar spectra and affect exoplanet studies. By monitoring five active stars and building a library of over 400 flares, the project will improve models of M dwarf activity and refine interpretations of exoplanet spectra influenced by stellar flares.
