Let me pose a question to you, /sci/. Say there was a world orbiting a triple star system at a (variable) distance of about 40-50 AUs. The three stars are an M class Giant orbiting a pair of F class stars (which orbit each other as well). Assume the world has both a magnetic field as strong as the Earth's as well as an atmosphere as capable as Earth's when it came to shielding radiation. What level (in any unit you wish) of harmful solar radiation would the world receive, in a ballpark?

Nah, I was just inspired by something I saw while browsing SpaceEngine and was trying to think about what kinds of preparations one would need to live on a planet like that, or what adaptations potential life might need.

considering that the plant is 50au away from the stars, it would recieve 125000 times less radiation than the earth if the star was our sun. and an M class and two F class stars won't emit 125000 times the radiation of our sun. suffice it to say, those people would get pretty cold, pretty fast.
