Using data from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, researchers derived universal scaling laws linking magnetic flux to stellar radiation from the chromosphere to the corona. By treating the Sun as a reference star, they reconstructed X-ray and ultraviolet spectra of distant solar-type stars despite interstellar absorption.
