The stellar flares come from tangling within the star’s magnetic field that occur due to the motions of the stellar atmosphere. If the magnetic fields become too tangled, they break and reconnect.

NASA’s Chandra and Hubble telescopes have spotted a young Jupiter-like exoplanet, TOI 1227 b, rapidly losing its atmosphere due to intense X-ray radiation.

Could life exist in stellar atmospheres, even if it wasn't life as we know it? Alas, life is pretty much guaranteed a quick trip to vaporization if it tried to live in the atmosphere of a star ...
