The bigger the star, the farther away the habitable zone (you don't want an irradiated planet that's sitting too close to a red dwarf star, after all).
Not exact matches
Such stars are usually prone to deadly eruptions of ultraviolet radiation and X-rays, so nearby planets are likely to be severely irradiated, casting doubt on whether life could survive there.
With UCSC graduate student Jonathan Langton, he is studying the surface flows on strongly irradiated extrasolar planets, and is comparing the results of these simulations to observations made with the Spitzer Space Telescope.
This planet is one of the most inflated of all known transiting exoplanets, making it one of the few members of a class of extremely low density, highly - irradiated gas giants.

These observations represent the first constraints on the atmospheric dynamics of a highly irradiated brown dwarf, and the atmospheres of irradiated giant planets at high surface gravity.
Most of these planets are highly irradiated, but EPIC 206209135.04 (K2 - 72e, Rp = 1.29 -LRB--0.13 / +0.14) Earth radii), EPIC 211988320.01 (Rp = 2.86 -LRB--0.15 / +0.16) Earth radii), and EPIC 212690867.01 (Rp = 2.20 -LRB--0.18 / +0.19) Earth radii) orbit within optimistic habitable zone boundaries set by the «recent Venus» inner limit and the «early Mars» outer limit.

Of course, it all depends on the numbers, but if there were an exo - earth with a strong enough magnetosphere to maintain its oceans and atmosphere, and it were subject to periodic flares that irradiated the surface, then I would not rule out a biosphere on that hypothetical planet.
Owing to its extremely small size, similar to that of Earth's Moon, and highly irradiated surface, Kepler - 37b is probably a rocky planet with no atmosphere or water, similar to Mercury.
This research also found that moderately irradiated giant planets are not inflated.
They may not alone irradiate the use of fossils entirely, but wind farms will reduce the amount of fossil fuels that is needed, and therefore help to protect the planet from pollution.
