The He I 10830 A line has been detected in emission in the spectra of Alpha Boo and Alpha-1 Her, two stars for which evidence of a high-temperature chromosphere has heretofore been lacking. The 10830 A emission from Alpha Boo is variable on a time scale of 1 week. He I 10830 A emission from Alpha-1 Her, a star surrounded by an extensive circumstellar gas and dust shell, is surprising. It is proposed that the emission may result from a shock front created when high-velocity infalling gas meets the photosphere.
