Description: The small size of M-dwarfs presents an opportunity for detecting small planets, smaller than planets orbiting larger host stars. In addition, their small size combined with their typical high proper motion allows to directly (as opposed to statistically) rule out false positive scenarios of transiting planet candidates. This validation makes them good targets for high precision radial velocities to measure the planet mass, and other follow-up studies including the characterization of the planet
