Young M dwarf flares exert greater chemical stress on primordial exo-Earth atmospheres than previous models, with potential for lasting changes in mixing ratios especially for low-abundance species.
Simulations indicate that order-of-magnitude changes in TiO2 and SiO2 abundances in lava melts produce distinguishable TiO, SiO, and SiO2 features in dry lava planet emission spectra, potentially observable with 12 JWST eclipses for the brightest targets.
