Red Dwarf Stars - Planet Habitability around "Flare Stars"

[QUOTE="Klystron, post: 6147791, member: 614295"] If it is acceptable to brainstorm SF in this forum, I suggest a Jovian or Saturnian system analog with moons covered by frozen ocean or a moon such as Titan with a thick opaque atmosphere perhaps 'protected by Jupiter-2'. Life could evolve underground, in or under the ocean or in the thick Titan-2 atmosphere perhaps originating in Jupiter-2's even thicker atmosphere. Despite solar flares the atmosphere could be replenished from underground activity powered by tidal effects from Jupiter-2 not unlike the sulfur clouds of Io. Pure fiction but these hypothetical moons might be embedded in Saturn-like rings that help shield them from the variable star. Suggest a good book on the solar system then borrow things that fit your story. You could always stipulate a binary star system if required. [/QUOTE]
