The Sun warming the Earth belongs to the category of yellow dwarfs, therefore, dimmer red dwarfs, it would seem, should be even calmer and more reliable than our star. However,…

Model predicted the existence of planet-oceans around red dwarfs
(ORDO NEWS) — Astronomers at the University of Tokyo have predicted that M-type red dwarf stars could have planets with oceans of liquid water. Researchers have developed a new planet formation model that predicts the amount of seawater on exoplanets orbiting red dwarfs. It turned out that planets with oceans can make up a few percent of the total number of planets with the Earth‘s radius near such stars. It…
