Coronal Mass Ejection Mass Bounds from Flare Energies and Their Share of M Dwarf Mass Loss

This paper examines coronal mass ejection masses inferred from flare energies and their annual share of total mass loss for very active M dwarfs with frequent large flares, using published input values and transparent formulae throughout. The headline computed results are: cme_mass_1e34_g = 1.585e+16; cme_mass_1e35_g = 6.310e+16; annual_cme_mdot_solar_units = 0.001. Each quantity bearing on coronal mass ejection masses inferred from flare energies and their annual share of total mass loss is derived in the deposited calculation script from the stated inputs, so the full chain from published value to conclusion for very active M dwarfs with frequent large flares can be audited and rescaled. The discussion of coronal mass ejection masses inferred from flare energies and their annual share of total mass loss compares the outcomes with independent published estimates, identifies the input to which each result is most sensitive, and confines the conclusions to what the arithmetic supports. Where the computed values for very active M dwarfs with frequent large flares confirm earlier estimates, the confirmation is meaningful because no adjustable parameter was available to force agreement on coronal mass ejection masses inferred from flare energies and their annual share of total mass loss; where they differ, the size and likely origin of the difference are stated directly.
