Abstract
M dwarfs are the most abundant stars and frequently host planets. However, they are magnetically active and produce strong flares. Understanding the M dwarf flares is very important in identifying the habitable planets orbiting them. We propose to obtain NICER data of six active M dwarf flare stars which will be observed simultaneously with TESS and ground based telescopes. The results of this project will enable us to measure flare energy equipartition and compare to those obtained for Solar flares; model and estimate the impacts of strong flares on the atmospheres of planets orbiting M dwarfs. In this way, this project will provide crucial details in building a comprehensive picture of M dwarf activity, enabling us to identify where habitable planets might reside.
