Can Stellar Flares Activate Prebiotic Chemistry?

了解生前化学对于了解生命的起源和在其他星球上发展生命的可能性至关重要。到目前为止，紫外光已被证明可以通过恒定强度的照射来激活益生菌反应。有了实验恒星模拟器FlareLab，现在可以研究在不同的恒星条件和不同的耀斑条件下(例如，M矮星的耀斑行为)，益生菌的化学变化(如果仍然有可能)。

Understanding prebiotic chemistry is vital to understanding the origin of life and the likelihood of life developing on other planets. So far UV light has been shown to activate prebiotic reactions with irradiation at constant intensity. With the experimental stellar simulator, FlareLab, it is now possible to investigate how prebiotic chemistry changes (and if it is still possible) at different stellar conditions and different flaring conditions (e.g. flaring behaviour due to M-dwarves).
