Unlocking the Secrets of Alien Atmospheres: UV Radiation and Exoplanetary Habitability
Abstract: When we observe the first terrestrial exoplanet atmospheres, we expect to find planets around a wide range of stellar types, with corresponding differences in their UV environments. Since the first rocky exoplanets available for characterization with JWST will orbit M dwarf host stars, understanding the UV insolation of their planets is a vital step in understanding their atmospheres.
