Astronomers enlist AI in the search for ‘lethal’ baby star eruptions – Phys.org

Young starsjust like young humansare prone to temper flares. But star flares can incinerate everything around them, including the atmospheres of nearby planets starting to form.
Finding out how often young stars erupt can help scientists understand where to look for habitable planets. But until now, searching for these flares involved poring over thousands of measurements of star brightness variations, called light curves, by eye.
Now, an international team of scientists including UNSW Sydney’s…
