Stellar space weather effects on potentially habitable planets by A. A. Vidotto. on Wednesday 30 November

Stellar activity can reveal itself in the form of radiation (eg, enhanced

X-ray coronal emission, flares) and particles (eg, winds, coronal mass

ejections). Together, these phenomena shape the space weather around

(exo)planets. As stars evolve, so do their different forms of activity -- in

general, younger solar-like stars have stronger winds, enhanced flare

occurrence and likely more frequent coronal mass ejections. Altogether, these

effects can create harsher particle and radiation environments for

habitable-zone planets, in comparison to Earth, in particular at young ages. In

this article, I will review some effects of these harsher environments on

potentially habitable exoplanets.
