Alpha Centauri A shows low NUV variability with rare flares, while B shows higher variability tied to its 8-year cycle, informing exoplanet reflected light spectroscopy.
Proposes the Nautilus observatory concept for time-resolved flare spectroscopy on GKM stars to create empirical spectral templates for improved planetary habitability simulations.
