A Census of Near-UV M-dwarf Flares Using Archival GALEX Data and the gPHOTON2 Pipeline

A Census of Near-UV M-dwarf Flares Using Archival GALEX Data and the gPHOTON2 Pipeline

M-dwarfs are common stellar hosts of habitable-zone exoplanets. Near-UV (NUV) radiation can severely impact the atmospheric and surface conditions of such planets, making the characterization of NUV flaring activity a key aspect in determining habitability. We use archival data from the Galaxy Evolu...
