A. Bonfanti, D. Gandolfi, P. Leonardi +96
Following the 2022 alert of a TESS object of interest transiting TOI-5624 (a G7 V star 100 pc away), a CHEOPS campaign in 2023 detected four planetary signals at $P_b\approx3…
Long-period transiting exoplanets: advances in detection and characterization
Solène Ulmer-Moll, Babatunde Akinsanmi, Simon Müller
Most detected transiting planets have orbits which would fit within the one of Mercury, exposing them to intense stellar irradiation and interactions that significantly alter their…
Precise measurement of WASP-31 b's Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and characterization of the planet transmission spectra
M. Steiner, V. Bourrier, D. Ehrenreich +23
Context. Hot Jupiters are ideal natural laboratories to investigate atmospheric composition and dynamics. However, high-resolution transmission spectroscopy is currently limited by…
Transit Timing Variations in HIP 41378: CHEOPS and TESS confirm a non-transiting sixth planet in the system
P. Leonardi, L. Borsato, L. Pagliaro +89
In multiple-planet systems, gravitational interactions of exoplanets could lead to transit timing variations (TTVs), whose amplitude becomes significantly enhanced when planets are…
SOAPv4: A new step toward modeling stellar signatures in exoplanet research
E. Cristo, J. P. Faria, N. C. Santos +6
We present and describe a new version of the spot oscillation and planet code, SOAPv4. Our aim is to demonstrate its capabilities in modeling stellar activity in the context of RV…

The CHEOPS view of HD 95338b: refined transit parameters, and a search for exomoons
Sz. Kálmán, A. E. Simon, A. Deline +90
Despite the ever-increasing number of known exoplanets, no uncontested detections have been made of their satellites, known as exomoons. The quest to find exomoons is at the forefr…
