Description
We review observations of energetic neutral atoms
(ENAs) in the Solar System. This is done with a focus
on the populations that could be remotely observed
in other stellar system, and we present how Lyman-
alpha observations of transiting extrasolar planets
could detect ENAs near these planets. We also
discuss the problems and uncertainties in interpreting
such transit spectra. Finally, we conclude with an outlook
to future observations, and possible directions in modeling.
