We study the evolution of an arch filament system (AFS) and of its individual arch filaments to learn about the processes occurring in them. We observed the AFS at the GREGOR solar telescope on Tenerife at high cadence with the very fast spectroscopic mode of the GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) in the He I 10830 AA spectral range. The He I triplet profiles were fitted with analytic functions to infer line-of-sight (LOS) velocities to follow plasma motions within the AFS. We tracked the temporal evolution of an individual arch filament over its entire lifetime, as seen in the He I 10830 AA triplet. The arch filament expanded in height and extended in length from 13 to 21. The lifetime of this arch filament is about 30 min. About 11 min after the arch filament is seen in He I, the loop top starts to rise with an average Doppler velocity of 6 km/s. Only two minutes later, plasma drains down with supersonic velocities towards the footpoints reaching a peak velocity of up to 40 km/s in the chromosphere. The temporal evolution of He I 10830 AA profiles near the leading pore showed almost ubiquitous dual red components of the He I triplet, indicating strong downflows, along with material nearly at rest within the same resolution element during the whole observing time. We followed the arch filament as it carried plasma during its rise from the photosphere to the corona. The material then drained toward the photosphere, reaching supersonic velocities, along the legs of the arch filament. Our observational results support theoretical AFS models and aids in improving future models.

We investigate the dynamics and magnetic properties of the plasma, such as line-of-sight velocity (LOS), optical depth, vertical and horizontal magnetic fields, belonging to an erupted solar filament. The filament eruption was observed with the GREGO
R Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) at the 1.5-meter GREGOR telescope on 2016 July 3. Three consecutive full-Stokes slit-spectropolarimetric scans in the He I 10830 r{A} spectral range were acquired. The Stokes I profiles were classified using the machine learning k-means algorithm and then inverted with different initial conditions using the HAZEL code. The erupting-filament material presents the following physical conditions: (1) ubiquitous upward motions with peak LOS velocities of ~73 km/s; (2) predominant large horizontal components of the magnetic field, on average, in the range of 173-254 G, whereas the vertical components of the fields are much lower, on average between 39-58 G; (3) optical depths in the range of 0.7-1.1. The average azimuth orientation of the field lines between two consecutive raster scans (<2.5 minutes) remained constant. The analyzed filament eruption belonged to the fast rising phase, with total velocities of about 124 km/s. The orientation of the magnetic field lines does not change from one raster scan to the other, indicating that the untwisting phase has not started yet. The untwisting seems to start about 15 min after the beginning of the filament eruption.
Aims. We aim to explain line formation of He I D3 and He I 10830 {AA} in small-scale reconnection events. Methods. We make use of a simulated Ellerman bomb (EB), present in a Bifrost-generated radiative Magnetohydrodynamics (rMHD) snapshot. The resul
ting He I D3 and He I 10830 AA line intensities are synthesized in 3D using the non-LTE Multi3D code. We compare the synthetic helium spectra with observed SST/TRIPPEL raster scans of EBs in He I 10830 AA and He I D3. Results. Emission in He I D3 and He I 10830 AA is formed in a thin shell around the EB at a height of $sim 0.8$ Mm while the He I D3 absorption is formed above the EB at $sim 4$ Mm. The height at which the emission is formed corresponds to the lower boundary of the EB, where the temperature increases rapidly from $6cdot 10^3$ K to $10^6$ K. The opacity in He I D3 and He I 10830 AA is generated via photoionization-recombination driven by EUV radiation that is locally generated in the EB at temperatures in the range of $2cdot 10^4 - 2cdot 10^6$ K and electron densities between $10^{11}$ and $10^{13}$ cm$^{-3}$. The synthetic emission signals are a result of coupling to local conditions in a thin shell around the EB, with temperatures between $7cdot 10^3$ and $10^4$ K and electron densities ranging from $sim 10^{12}$ to $10^{13}$ cm$^{-3}$. Hence, both strong non-LTE as well as thermal processes play a role in the formation of He I D3 and He I 10830 AA in the synthetic EB/UV burst that we studied. Conclusions. In conclusion, the synthetic He I D3 and He I 10830 AA emission signatures are an indicator of temperatures of at least $2cdot 10^4$ K and in this case as high as $sim 10^6$ K.
Context: Recently, the He I triplet at 10830 r{A} has been rediscovered as an excellent probe of the extended and possibly evaporating atmospheres of close-in transiting planets. This has already resulted in detections of this triplet in the atmosphe
res of a handful of planets, both from space and from the ground. However, while a strong signal is expected for the hot Jupiter HD 209458 b, only upper limits have been obtained so far. Aims: Our goal is to measure the helium excess absorption from HD 209458 b and assess the extended atmosphere of the planet and possible evaporation. Methods: We obtained new high-resolution spectral transit time-series of HD 209458 b using CARMENES at the 3.5 m Calar Alto telescope, targeting the He I triplet at 10830 r{A} at a spectral resolving power of 80 400. The observed spectra were corrected for stellar absorption lines using out of transit data, for telluric absorption using the molecfit software, and for the sky emission lines using simultaneous sky measurements through a second fibre. Results: We detect He I absorption at a level of 0.91 $pm$ 0.10 % (9 $sigma$) at mid-transit. The absorption follows the radial velocity change of the planet during transit, unambiguously identifying the planet as the source of the absorption. The core of the absorption exhibits a net blueshift of 1.8 $pm$ 1.3 km s$^{-1}$. Possible low-level excess absorption is seen further blueward from the main absorption near the centre of the transit, which could be caused by an extended tail. However, this needs to be confirmed. Conclusions: Our results further support a close relationship between the strength of planetary absorption in the helium triplet lines and the level of ionising, stellar X-ray and extreme-UV irradiation.
He I 10830 profiles acquired with Kecks NIRSPEC for 6 young low mass stars with high disk accretion rates (AS 353A, DG Tau, DL Tau, DR Tau, HL Tau and SVS 13) provide new insight into accretion-driven winds. In 4 stars the profiles have the signature
of resonance scattering, and possess a deep and broad blueshifted absorption that penetrates more than 50% into the 1 micron continuum over a continuous range of velocities from near the stellar rest velocity to the terminal velocity of the wind, unlike inner wind signatures seen in other spectral features. This deep and broad absorption provides the first observational tracer of the acceleration region of the inner wind and suggests that this acceleration region is situated such that it occults a significant portion of the stellar disk. The remaining 2 stars also have blue absorption extending below the continuum although here the profiles are dominated by emission, requiring an additional source of helium excitation beyond resonant scattering. This is likely the same process that produces the emission profiles seen at He I 5876.
