Outflowing Helium from a Mature Mini-Neptune

We announce the detection of escaping helium from TOI 2134b, a mini-Neptune a few gigayears old. The average in-transit absorption spectrum shows a peak of 0.37% ± 0.05% and an equivalent width of W _avg = 3.3 ± 0.3 mÅ. Among all planets with helium detections, TOI 2134b is the only mature mini-Nept...
