Context. Hot subdwarfs experienced strong mass loss on the Red Giant Branch (RGB) and are now hot and small He-burning objects. Aims. In this project we aim to perform a transit su…
The hot dayside and asymmetric transit of WASP-189b seen by CHEOPS
M. Lendl, Sz. Csizmadia, A. Deline +102
The CHEOPS space mission dedicated to exoplanet follow-up was launched in December 2019, equipped with the capacity to perform photometric measurements at the 20 ppm level. As CHEO…
A close outer companion to the ultra-hot Jupiter TOI-2109 b?
J. -V. Harre, A. M. S. Smith, S. C. C. Barros +86
Hot Jupiters with close-by planetary companions are rare, with only a handful of them having been discovered so far. This could be due to their suggested dynamical histories, leadi…
CHEOPS photometry from 2024 reveals a reversal in the transit-timing variations of AU Mic c
Z. Garai, Gy. M. Szabó, D. Gandolfi +90
We present new CHEOPS transit observations of AU Mic b and AU Mic c obtained between June and September 2024, extending the baseline of transit-timing measurements of this young pl…
Data processing on simulated data for SHARK-NIR
E. Carolo, D. Vassallo, J. Farinato +22
A robust post processing technique is mandatory to analyse the coronagraphic high contrast imaging data. Angular Differential Imaging (ADI) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) a…
Giant Outer Transiting Exoplanet Mass (GOTEM) Survey.VII. TOI-6041: a multi-planet system including a warm Neptune exhibiting strong TTVs
N. Heidari, A. Alnajjarine, H. P. Osborn +101
We present the characterization of the TOI-6041 system, a bright () G7-type star hosting at least two planets. The inner planet, TOI-6041b, is a warm Neptune wit…
Characterisation of the TOI-421 planetary system using CHEOPS, TESS, and archival radial velocity data
A. F. Krenn, D. Kubyshkina, L. Fossati +88
The TOI-421 planetary system contains two sub-Neptune-type planets and is a prime target to study the formation and evolution of planets and their atmospheres. The inner planet is…
Deep imaging of three accelerating stars using SHARK-NIR and LMIRCam at LBT
D. Mesa, R. Gratton, V. D'Orazi +29
The combination of detection techniques enhances our ability to identify companions orbiting nearby stars. We employed high-contrast imaging to constrain mass and separation of pos…
CHEOPS observations confirm nodal precession in the WASP-33 system

CHEOPS and TESS view of the ultra-short period super-Earth TOI-561 b
J. A. Patel, J. A. Egger, T. G. Wilson +75
Ultra-short period planets (USPs) are a unique class of super-Earths with an orbital period of less than a day and hence subject to intense radiation from their host star. While mo…
