pyTPCI predictions for c (top) and b (bottom) at different metallicities, compared to the observational data. For c, we run one simulation with the XUV spectrum from David Wilson and another with the XUV spectrum from Jorge Sanz-Forcada. Despite the factor of 3–4 flux discrepancy in both X-rays and EUV, the resulting helium absorption is remarkably similar.
