Climates Of Temperate Rocky Planets With He-dominated Atmospheres
[astro-ph.EP] We present radiative-convective modeling of rocky exoplanets with He-dominated atmospheres and low envelope mass fractions. Helium has a steeper adiabatic temperature profile than N2…

Incredible Atmosphere Detection In Habitable-Zone Rocky Exoplanet Located Just 49 Light-Years Away
“The helium detection in 2024 indicated that the atmosphere is present, whereas the non-detection in 2025 indicates that it is changing.”
We've seen helium baked off a rocky exoplanet's atmosphere
If the large, rocky planet is losing helium, then we can infer what is left behind.
