The spectra of the Sun (WMO 1985; yellow) and GJ 436 (France et al. 2013; red) scaled such that the total flux of each is identical to the total flux received by Earth at 1 AU (∼1360 W m−2). The wavelengths at which photolysis of CO2, O2, O3, and H2O2 is most efficient are added for comparison (Tian et al. 2014).
