Abstract

We report magnetic field measurements for κ 1 Cet, a proxy of the young Sun when life arose on Earth. We carry out an analysis of the magnetic properties determined from spectropolarimetric observations and reconstruct the large-scale surface magnetic field to derive the magnetic environment, stellar winds, and particle flux permeating the interplanetary medium around Cet. Our results show a closer magnetosphere and mass-loss rate of , i.e., a factor of 50 times larger than the current solar wind mass-loss rate, resulting in a larger interaction via space weather disturbances between the stellar wind and a hypothetical young-Earth analogue, potentially affecting the planet’s habitability. Interaction of the wind from the young Sun with the planetary ancient magnetic field may have affected the young Earth and its life conditions.

  • The most recent wind measurement for κ Ceti (G5 V), a young (~0.7 Gyr) solar-type star, indicates a mass loss rate of ~50 times the present Sun.

    “For example, the most recent wind measurement for κ Ceti (G5 V), a young ( ∼ 0.7 Gyr) solar-type star, by do Nascimento et al. (2016) indicates a mass loss rate of ∼ 50 times the present Sun.”

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.
