We present preliminary results from our effort to model M dwarf flare rates in the Galaxy. Using existing flare data and new determinations of the M dwarf luminosity function and activity fractions from SDSS data, we have developed numerical simulations to model the number of flares seen along a given Galactic sightline. We compare the simulations with data from the SDSS repeat scans obtained in the equatorial region. These simulations will be useful for predicting the detection of M dwarf variability in new time domain surveys such as PanSTARRs and LSST.
Based on data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (www.sdss.org)
