We show the transmission spectrum of TOI-1130 b, zoomed in on the He triplet feature. We derive this spectrum using the formalism described in Section 4.6. The overplotted models have been calculated using the publicly available p-winds (L. A. Dos Santos et al. 2022) code. The red lines correspond to an upper atmosphere temperature of 8000 K and the blue lines correspond to 10,000 K models. The different line styles correspond to different mass-loss rates.
