A Search for Planetary Metastable Helium Absorption in the V1298 Tau System
Shreyas Vissapragada, Guðmundur Stefánsson, Michael Greklek-McKeon +28
Early in their lives, planets endure extreme amounts of ionizing radiation from their host stars. For planets with primordial hydrogen and helium-rich envelopes, this can lead to s…
