Abstract
We propose NICER observations of a carefully selected sample of young solar analogs to focus on a single question with fundamental importance to search for life: What is the level of stellar activity in young sun-like stars and how does it impact habitability on rocky planets in the solar/stellar neighborhood? We propose to address this question by observationally characterizing and constraining magnetic activity in solar-type stars at various phases of their evolution. The proposed NICER observations are part of a large multi-wavelength, multi-observatory campaign where the complete data set will allow us theoretically reconstruct space weather properties including coronal X-ray-EUV and electromechanical fluxes from winds of solar analogs with ages spanning between 0.13 to 2.5 Gyr.
