Description

The search for life in the Universe is crucially dependent on the ability of stars
to host life-bearing planets for sufficiently long to develop complex
civilisations. In this talk I will discuss how recent discoveries with widefield
and sensitive interferometers are now providing us with new insights into
stellar systems and how their natural magnetic emission processes inform our
technosignature searches.
