This is an erratum for the paper ‘Exploring the M-dwarf Luminosity–Temperature–Radius relationships using Gaia DR2’, published in MNRAS 489, 2615–2633 (2019). We have discovered two important issues compromising the synthetic photometry underlying the fitting performed in this work. However, these issues act in the opposite sense, and effectively work to counteract each other. As a result, after being corrected, the radii of 99 percent of the targets in the revised catalogue presented here differ by less than 1 per cent from the values we originally presented. However given the precision to which we measured stellar radii in the original work we thought it prudent to publish revisions to the derived catalogues and relations. The full revised catalogue is available at CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc. u-strasbg. fr (130.79. 128.5) or via http://cdsarc. u-strasbg. fr/viz-bin/qcat? VI/156, the University of Exeter ORE repository (https://doi. org/10.24378/exe. 1683) and the GitHub repository of supplementary material for Morrell & Naylor (2019). 1 We also provide a revised version of the supplementary material, which are the tabulated temperature-radius-luminosity relationships. In light of these revisions, we thought it prudent to also include, and describe, improvements we have made to the process through which the uncertainties of our stellar parameters are calculated. We will now detail the issues, and the remediations which we have applied. As presented in Evans et al.(2018), and originally described in Jordi et al.(2010), the zero-point flux f◦ λ for the Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) photometric system is set using Vega (see equation 2 of Evans et al. 2018). The reference SED for this zero-point is that of an A0V star from the Kurucz/ATLAS9 Vega spectrum with Teff= 9550 K, log (g)= 3.95 dex,[Fe/H]=− 0.5 and νmicro= 2 km s− 1. This SED is normalized such that the flux density at λ= 550 nm is λ550= 3.66× 10− 11 Wm− 2 nm− 1. Due to a misconfiguration in the code that produced the grids used for the fitting, the zeropoint flux for the synthetic photometry in our original work was instead provided by the Vega spectrum of Bohlin & Gilliland (2004). This introduced a systematic zero-point error into the Gaia DR2 synthetic photometry of ZPBP=− 0.030 and ZPRP=− 0.028. In the revised catalogue, the fitting is performed on grids with the zero-point corrected to be consistent with that prescribed in Evans et al.(2018).
