Welcome

Focus Meeting 5 Beyond the Goldilocks zone: the effect of stellar magnetic activity on exoplanet habitability will take place on 2 & 3 August 2022 during IAU XXXIst General Assembly in Busan, South Korea.

The aim of this Focus Meeting is to bring together theorists, modellers and observers in the fields of solar, stellar and (exo)planetary physics to further the understanding of the impact of solar and stellar magnetic activity on their space environments and the habitability of orbiting planets. We will use the Sun and the Solar System as the starting point, as it is by far the best studied stellar system and allows us to study different processes in unprecedented detail. We will connect the knowledge obtained from these studies to the state-of-the-art observations and models of stellar activity, and finally to their effects on exoplanets.
