Flares are magnetically driven explosions that occur in the atmospheres of all main sequence stars that possess an outer convection zone. Flaring activity is rooted in the magnetic dynamo that operates deep in the stellar interior, propagates through all layers of the atmosphere from the corona to the photosphere, and emits electromagnetic radiation from radio bands to X-ray. Eventually, this radiation, and associated eruptions of energetic particles, are ejected out into interplanetary space, where they impact planetary atmospheres, and dominate the space weather environments of young star-planet systems. Thanks to the Kepler and the Transit Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) missions, flare observations have become accessible for millions of stars and star-planet systems. The goal of this thesis is to use these flares as multifaceted messengers to understand stellar magnetism across the main sequence, investigate planetary habitability, and explore how close-in planets can affect the host star. Using space based observations ...
