Limited opportunities for circumstellar habitability may still exist for F-type stars.
“though limited opportunities for circumstellar habitability may still exist (e.g., Cockell 1999; Sato et al. 2014).”

“Therefore, most of the discussion on UV effects on habitability focuses on protection against UV by ozone or microenvironments (Kasting, 1997; Cockell, 1999; Cockell and Raven, 2004), behaviors such as photomotility to avoid the harmful UV (Bebout and Garcia-Pichel, 1995), and specialized screening pigments or phenoli…”

“…stars, are known to rapidly evolve away from the mainsequence (e.g., Meynet et al. 1993; Mowlavi et al. 2012), a significant disadvantage for the evolution and sustainment of exolife, though limited opportunities for circumstellar habitability may still exist (e.g., Cockell 1999; Sato et al. 2014).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
