Astrospheres and Cosmic Rays

Abstract
An ionization plays a key role in formation of stars, planets and their atmospheres. Cosmic rays (CR) are the main source of the ionization, therefore it is important to know and be able to estimate fluxes of galactic and stellar cosmic rays (GCR and SCR) at different stages of evolution of stars and planetary systems. Radiation conditions close to exoplanets might be important for creation and development of life. We present a review of the current state of the problem of astrospheres and their interactions with GCR and SCR. We pay special attention to estimates of radiation conditions near exoplanets recently discovered in a habitable zone of their hosting stars.
