Red Dwarfs Can Emit Strong X-Rays

Surprising radiation.

Young red dwarfs can emit strong X-rays from their magnetic activity, affecting nearby planets’ atmospheres.

Why This Matters

X-ray emissions reveal internal processes and magnetic field structures.

It also helps evaluate the effects of radiation on potential life around red dwarfs.

Did You Know?

Some red dwarfs shine brightly in X-rays despite being invisible in visible light.
