Hi all !
I'm looking around the net to find good resources on how to compute total radiation flux from a given star at a given orbiting distance.
Ideally I'd like to get not just the W/m2 of the star, but also the expected high-energy radiation, thermal, solar wind pressure.. well, the works.
I understand I can basically use Stefan–Boltzmann (and then reverse square distance for attenuation) to get the W/m2, but I'm more interested in how different fusion processes will create different amounts of ionizing radiation, and specifically how different types of stars will create different types (and amounts) of radiation.
