We obtained 420 high-resolution spectra of Proxima, over 159 nights, using the Near Infra Red Planet Searcher (NIRPS). We derived 149 nightly binned radial velocity measurements wi…
Studying the variability of the He triplet to understand the detection limits of evaporating exoplanet atmospheres
Samson J. Mercier, Xavier Dumusque, Vincent Bourrier +20
With more than a dozen significant detections, the helium triplet has emerged as a key tracer of evaporating exoplanet atmospheres. This near-infrared feature can be observed from…
