Table 3

Results of the T-tests for the amplitude of rotation modulation and standard deviation of the full LC of slow and fast rotators.

Parameter Mean value (Prot < 10 d) Mean value (Prot ≥ 10 d) T-statistic p-value
Rper 2.2 ± 1.1% 0.8 ± 0.6% 5.1 6.2 × 10−6
Sph 18531 ± 9466 ppm 4518 ± 3867 ppm 7.2 5.8 × 10−9

Rper, >0.52% 2.2 ± 1.1% 1.2 ± 0.6% 3.7 8.5 × 10−4
Sph, >2600 ppm 18531 ± 9466 ppm 5378 ± 4088 ppm 6.0 6.8 × 10−7

Notes. The top half of the table shows the full sample. The bottom half includes only stars with values higher than the value that corresponds to the average Sflat of the fast-rotating M dwarfs.
