The Space Weather Around Young Suns (SWAYS) program was introduced in Davis2025 as a multi-wavelength monitoring program for studying the activity and particle environments of nearby, young, solar-type stars.
Stellar magnetic activity, manifested through spots (faculae and flares), fundamentally shapes the exoplanets’ environments.
We present the largest ground-based catalogue of M-dwarf flares to date, comprising 1,229 time-resolved events identified in Zwicky Transient Facility Data Release 17.
Down here on Earth we don’t usually notice, but the Sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma into space. These are called coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
Rising concentrations of carbon dioxide in the upper atmosphere will change the way geomagnetic storms impact Earth, with potential implications for thousands of orbiting satellites, according to new research led […]
The study of the evolution of Martian atmosphere and its response to EUV irradiation is an extremely important topic in planetary science. One of the dominant effects of atmospheric losses […]
M-type stars are prime targets for exoplanet searches within their habitable zones (HZs). M-type stars also exhibit significant magnetic flaring activity, especially during the first billion years, which can potentially […]
New research uncovers the strongest solar event ever detected — rewriting our understanding of space weather and radiocarbon dating.
The spot evolution on the Sun and solar-type stars is important for understanding the nature of consequential flaring activity.
Teegarden’s star is a late-type M-dwarf planet host, typically showing only rather low levels of activity. In this paper we present an extensive characterisation of this activity at photospheric, chromospheric, […]
