The atmosphere of nearby planets can be so dense to protect her from radiation.
In the novel, Ivan Efremov “Andromeda” featured iron star. Current cosmological theory suggests that such stars might exist, but their age is much more than the present age of the Universe. Such a star can be formed due to the cold nucleosynthesis, going by the quantum tunneling.
However, Efremov iron stars more like “dead” stars – pulsars. And, it seems, new data suggest that planets near a pulsars can exist life.

Previously it was assumed that the x-ray emission of stars “sterilize” planets near the pulsar, but if the atmosphere is quite dense, it allows you to protect the planet and, at least theoretically, to admit the existence of water and therefore life to them. However, this is, if biological, will be radically different from anything we know.
