New star activity catalog could sharpen hunt for habitable worlds‎

Searching for habitable worlds beyond our solar system involves more than having a planet orbit within its star's habitable zone, the region where temperatures could be just right for liquid water to exist on the surface. On Earth, where water comprises approximately 75% of the planet's surface, life is abundant. But what about the exoplanet's star, specifically its activity and rotation? How could this influence how exoplanets are identified for current and future missions?
