Abstract
Well-characterised M-dwarfs are rare, particularly with respect to effective temperature. In this letter we re-analyse two benchmark M-dwarfs in eclipsing binaries from Kepler/K2: KIC 1571511AB and HD 24465AB. Both have temperatures reported to be hotter or colder by ≈1000 K in comparison with both models and the majority of other M-dwarfs in the literature. By modelling the secondary eclipses with both the original data and new data from TESS we derive significantly different temperatures: 2865 ± 27 for KIC 1571511B and 3081 ± 32 for HD 24465B from TESS and 3114 ± 32 K for HD 24465B from K2. These new temperatures are not outliers. Removing this discrepancy allows these M-dwarfs to be truly benchmarks. Our work also provides relief to stellar modellers. We encourage more measurements of M-dwarf effective temperatures with robust methods.
