Caption: Figure 6.

Stability simulation results for a HZ planet–moon orbiting an M0 dwarf. Similar to Figure 2 but for moons orbiting an Earth-sized planet in an M0 system. The white contour in (a) marks the boundary beyond which the lifetimes are extrapolated, as indicated by the arrow. The maximum lifetime in (a) is ≈9.2 in ﹩{\mathrm{log}}_{10}(t)﹩.
