   M-Dwarf Stars
   For low-mass M-dwarf stars, the $\text{HZ}$ is located extremely close to the primary—often within $0.05 \text{ AU}$ [1]. This proximity necessitates synchronous (tidal) locking, resulting in a permanent dayside and nightside. Furthermore, M-dwarfs are prone to intense, unpredictable stellar flares. Current models suggest that the atmosphere of a planet orbiting within this tight zone must main…
