Such dwarfs' flares are considerably stronger than those of the Sun.
astronomers from the University of California at Irvine proposed to look for life on planets in systems with stars of the spectral class M, that is, with red dwarfs not that long ago.
According to a new analysis, surviving on planets with a red dwarf star might be difficult. From time to time red dwarfs develop "superflares."
This phenomenon is similar to a solar flare, but there is a caveat: a superflare is much more powerful. Its strength can be 100 to 1000 times greater than that of solar flares.
A musician's ideas for superflare
If enough force is available on the surface, a red dwarf might be able to devastate planets orbiting a red dwarf.
Scientists will need to figure out how often red dwarfs make superflares. According to preliminary estimates, superflares can occur with a frequency of several years to 20+ years, but this is not a very reliable indicator of life origin.
This is an interesting story.
