Aims. We aim to describe the pre-main sequence and main-sequence evolution of X-ray and extreme-ultaviolet radiation of a solar mass star based on its rotational evolution starting with a realistic range of initial rotation rates. Methods. We derive evolutionary tracks of X-ray radiation based on a rotational evolution model for solar mass stars and the rotation-activity relation. We compare these tracks to X-ray luminosity distributions of stars in clusters with different ages. Results. We find agreement between the evolutionary tracks derived from rotation and the X-ray luminosity distributions from observations. Depending on the initial rotation rate, a star might remain at the X-ray saturation level for very different time periods, approximately from 10 Myr to 300 Myr for slow and fast rotators, respectively. Conclusions. Rotational evolution with a spread of initial conditions leads to a particularly wide distribution of possible X-ray luminosities in the age range of 20 to 500 Myrs, before rotational convergence and therefore X-ray luminosity convergence sets in. This age range is crucial for the evolution of young planetary atmospheres and may thus lead to very different planetary evolution histories.

  1. ESCAPE: a small explorer mission to study the stellar drivers of exoplanet evolution

    astro-ph.EP 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    ESCAPE is a proposed NASA Small Explorer that would measure EUV spectra of about 300 nearby stars to constrain stellar EUV irradiance and coronal mass ejection rates affecting exoplanet habitability.

  2. Companion Architectures of Sub-Saturns: Distinct Migration Pathways Across the Neptunian Landscape

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Desert/ridge sub-Saturns show ~10% nearby-companion rates like hot Jupiters; savanna ones show ~70% like warm Jupiters, supporting HEM versus quiescent migration.

  3. Escape of Water- and Metal-enriched Atmospheres from compact Hot mini-Neptunes with CHAIN

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Water- and metal-rich atmospheres on compact hot mini-Neptunes lose mass more slowly than H/He cases at high enrichment levels due to enhanced cooling and higher mean molecular weight.

  4. TOI-2147 b and TOI-6019 b: Two eccentric warm Jupiters detected and characterized with TESS and MaHPS

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    TOI-2147 b and TOI-6019 b are confirmed eccentric warm Jupiters with masses of 116 and 149 Earth masses and eccentricities of 0.29 and 0.48.

  5. Stellar impact on exoplanetary atmospheric evolution and habitability

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    This is a review, not a new result: it consolidates stellar-evolution, atmospheric-escape, photochemistry, and magnetic-shielding literature for exoplanet habitability and biosignature interpretation.
