MANOA, Hawaii, Aug. 6 (TNSres) -- The University of Hawaii Manoa campus issued the following news release:
A groundbreaking study has revealed that red dwarf stars can produce stellar flares that carry far-ultraviolet (far-UV) radiation levels much higher than previously believed. This discovery suggests that the intense UV radiation from these flares could significantly impact whether planets around red dwarf stars can be habitable. Led by current and former astronomers from the Un . . .
