Activities in M dwarfs show spectroscopic variability over various time scales ranging from a few seconds to several hours. The time scales of such variability can be related to internal dynamics of M dwarfs like magnetic activity, energetic flaring events, their rotation periods, etc. The time variability in the strengths of prominent emission lines (particularly Hα ) is mostly taken as a proxy of such dynamic behavior. In this study, we have performed the spectroscopic monitoring of 83 M dwarfs (M0-M6.5) to study the variations in Hα and H\b{eta} emissions on short-time scales. Low-resolution (resolution around 5.7 angstroms) spectral time series of 3-5 minutes cadence over 0.7-2.3 hours were obtained with MFOSC-P instrument on PRL 1.2m Mt. Abu telescope, covering H\b{eta} and Hα wavelengths. Coupled with the data available in the literature and archival photometric data from TESS and Kepler/K2 archives, various variability parameters are explored for any plausible systematics with respect to their spectral types, and rotation periods. Though about 64% of our sample shows statistically significant variability, it is not uniform across the spectral type and rotation period. Hα activity strength (LHα/Lbol) is also derived and explored for such distributions.

船底座η双星是最接近超大质量恒星的例子,它可能是在19世纪中期的大爆发中通过合并形成的。我们的目的是确认和改进的运动学使用的光谱数据集与CTIO 1.5米望远镜在2008年至2020年的时间段,涵盖三个近星点通道的高偏心轨道。我们测量的H-α和H-β,其中的径向速度和轨道运动学的主要恒星的H-β发射线使用平分线的方法测量线的变化。在远离近星点的阶段,我们观察到He II 4686的发射与主星相反,与可能的沃尔夫-拉叶伴星一致,尽管发射线看起来很窄。这可能是第一次探测到来自伴星的辐射。
