Two coherent radio emission mechanisms operate in stellar coronae: plasma emission and cyclotron emission. They directly probe the electron density and magnetic field strength respectively. Most stellar radio detections have been made at cm-wavelengths where it is often not possible to uniquely identify the emission mechanism, hindering the utility of radio observations in probing coronal conditions. In anticipation of stellar observations from a suite of sensitive low-frequency ($ν\sim 10^2\,{\rm MHz}$) radio telescopes, here I apply the general theory of coherent emission in non-relativistic plasma to the low-frequency case. I consider the recently reported low-frequency emission from dMe flare stars AD Leo and UV Ceti and the quiescent star GJ 1151 as test cases. My main conclusion is that unlike the cm-wave regime, for reasonable turbulence saturation regimes, the emission mechanism in metre-wave observations ($ν\sim 10^2\,{\rm MHz}$) can often be identified based on the observed brightness temperature, emission duration and polarisation fraction. I arrive at the following heuristic: M-dwarf emission that is $\gtrsim \,$hour-long with $\gtrsim 50\%$ circular polarised fraction at brightness temperatures of $\gtrsim 10^{12}\,$K at $\sim 100\,{\rm MHz}$ in canonical M-dwarfs strongly favours a cyclotron maser interpretation.

Unraveling the complex magnetosphere of the B star HD 133880 via wideband observation of coherent radio emission
HD 133880是六颗已知通过电子回旋脉泽发射(ECME)过程产生相干脉冲射电辐射的热磁星之一。在本文中,我们提出了一个广泛的频率范围内,覆盖近300 - 4000兆赫的巨型米波射电望远镜(GMRT)和卡尔G。Jansky甚大阵列(VLA)这项研究是同类研究中的第一项,发现了该现象和宿主恒星的几个有趣特征。我们发现,ECME脉冲的可观察到的属性,例如右和左圆偏振脉冲之间的时间延迟,脉冲的幅度,和它们的上限截止频率似乎是依赖于恒星的方向相对于视线。我们认为,所有这些现象,这是超出了理想的图片,可以归因于一个高度的方位角不对称的物质分布在磁层的磁场轴,这是一个结果的两个高旋转轴(旋转轴和磁场轴之间的角度)的恒星和恒星磁场偏离偶极拓扑结构。
