On the Comprehensive 3D Modeling of the Radiation Environment of Proxima Centauri b: A New Constraint on Habitability?

On the Comprehensive 3D Modeling of the Radiation Environment of Proxima Centauri b: A New Constraint on Habitability?

The combined influence of stellar energetic particles and galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) on the radiation environment, and hence potential habitability, of Earth-like exoplanets is relatively unknown. The present study, for the first time, comprehensively models the transport of these particles in a ph...
