SUMMARY:Flares Stirring Up Planet Formation - Abygail Waggoner (University
  of Virginia)

CONTACT:Paul B. Rimmer
DESCRIPTION:X-ray flares from M-dwarf stars have been known to strip the a
 tmospheres of planets\, thus decreasing the likelihood that these planets 
 could harbor life. But what about X-ray flares produced by stars that trac
 e the Sun's history? Pre-main sequence solar-mass stars\, known as T-Tauri
  stars\, are known to be X-ray bright and variable. However\, there has be
 en a limited amount of research exploring how X-ray flares produced by T-T
 auri stars impact chemistry in the surrounding protoplanetary disk. In thi
 s talk\, I will discuss a range of theoretical and observational evidence 
 that X-ray flares drive chemical variability in planet forming disks.
