The Strength and Variability of the Helium 10830 Å Triplet in Young Stars, with Implications for Exosphere Detection

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Daniel M. Krolikowski, Adam L. Kraus, Benjamin M. Tofflemire, Caroline V. Morley, Andrew W. Mann | Summary: Young exoplanets trace planetary evolution, particularly the atmospheric mass loss that is most dynamic in youth. However, the high activity level of young stars can mask or mimic the spectroscopic […]
