Detection of Helium in the Atmosphere of the Exo-Neptune HAT-P-11b
Megan Mansfield, Jacob L. Bean, Antonija Oklopčić +11
The helium absorption triplet at a wavelength of 10,833 Å has been proposed as a way to probe the escaping atmospheres of exoplanets. Recently this feature was detected for the fir…
Non-Detection of a Helium Exosphere for the Hot Jupiter WASP-12b
Laura Kreidberg, Antonija Oklopčić
An exosphere was recently detected around the exoplanet WASP-107b, a low-density, warm Neptune, based on an absorption feature from metastable helium (which has a vacuum wavelength…
Helium in the eroding atmosphere of an exoplanet
J. J. Spake, D. K. Sing, T. M. Evans +20
Helium is the second-most abundant element in the Universe after hydrogen and is one of the main constituents of gas-giant planets in our Solar System. Early theoretical models pre…
