		| Abstract: | 
		We searched for spectral signatures from the exosphere of HD209- 458b in the UV and the near-IR with UVES and ISAAC at the VLT. We looked in particular for the helium absorption feature at 10,830 Å predicted to be among the strongest ones. The upper limit of the He I line derived is 0.5% at 3 σ for a 3 Å bandwidth. Planet-induced chromospheric activity search on HD209458 was also performed. |
