The inflated radii of M-dwarfs in the Pleiades

Rotation periods obtained with the Kepler satellite have been combined with precise measurements of projected rotation velocity from the WIYN 3.5-m telescope to determine the distribution of projected radii for several hundred low-mass (0.1 \leq M/M_{\odot} \leq 0.8), fast-rotating members of the Pleiades cluster. A maximum likelihood modelling technique, that... Show more
