Overview

Abstract

  • We present a new metallicity calibration for M dwarfs using a 22 star sample from X-SHOOTER spectra. We achieve a precision of 0.05 dex for [Fe/H] and intend to use it to study the planet-metallicity relation of M dwarfs, as well as to constrain evolutionary and transit light curve models in order to obtain more precise values of stellar and planetary mass and radius.
