Such events can serve as a proxy for the influence of the active young Sun with implications for the evolution of planetary atmospheres (solar system and exoplanets), water inventories and habitability. Extreme events involve enhanced solar EUV and X-ray radiation, neutron fluxes, coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and related intense solar proton/electron fluxes (e.g., SPEs), auroral phenomena, magnetic storms, etc. Regarding Earth-like exoplanets the session will investigate the stellar focing induced by dense plasma fluxes (CMEs, winds) on terrestrial exoplanets within close-in habitable zones of lower mass stars.
