Known properties of WX UMa from literature.

Parameter Value Reference/Comments
Spectral class dM6e Alonso-Floriano et al. (2015)
Mass (M) 0.095 Newton et al. (2017)
Radius (R) 0.12 Morin et al. (2010)
Distance (pc) 4.9 Gaia Collaboration (2018)
ROSAT X-ray luminosity (ergs s−1) 3.62 × 1027 Callingham et al. (2021b)
Hα equivalent width (Å) 6.85 ± 0.09 Newton et al. (2017)
Surface polar magnetic field ( * ) (kG) 4.53 Morin et al. (2010)
Stellar rotation period (days) 0.78 Morin et al. (2010)
Average coronal temperature 5.8 × 106 K Based on Johnstone & Güdel (2015)
Density scale height 0.63R* Neglecting centrifugal force

Notes. ( * )Morin et al. (2010) also found that the magnetic field is well described by a dipole: , where B0 is the polar surface field strength, R is the radial distance in units of the stellar radius, θ is the polar angle, and and are the unit vectors along the radial and polar-angular directions.
