So sunlight is supposed to kill vampires, right? Makes them burst into flames or turn to ash or whatever.

Is it specifically sunlight as in light from The Sun, or is it any light at a specific intensity? Is it only a single wavelength of light that's the issue, or a particular spectrum? Is there a threshold, or is it cumulative exposure? Can they go outside on a really dark and overcast day, or is that still too much sunlight?

If it is specifically light from The Sun, why doesn't moonlight cause issues since it's just reflected sunlight? Is it our Sun or any star? Like, could vampires live just fine in Alpha Centauri? How come starlight doesn't hurt them at night? That's also light from a star. Does diffraction or refraction of the light make any difference? What about radio light from the sun? Gamma rays? Neutrinos?

@malcircuit Maybe it's specifically G-type or G2V starlight above some level of intensity; so they can't tolerate Sol or Alpha Centauri A (also G2V), but they could live in the Sirius system.

Perhaps it's down to the ultraviolet, but then modern windows would probably be sufficient protection, or maybe even just sunblock lotion.
