"Little or no" emission from a star is probably many orders of magnitude
bigger than the biggest ever nuclear bomb on Earth though :-)

It may look on there like there is no emission below 100 nm or whatever, but
in proportion there is still an almighty amount of x-ray and gamma emission
from a star. Standing out above this "noise" is going to be hard.
