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…
K2-399 b is not a planet. The Saturn that wandered through the Neptune desert is actually a hierarchical eclipsing binary
J. Lillo-Box, D. W. Latham, K. A. Collins +19
The transit technique has been very efficient in detecting planet candidate signals over the past decades. The so-called statistical validation approach has become a popular way of…
CHEOPS in-flight performance: A comprehensive look at the first 3.5 years of operations
A. Fortier, A. E. Simon, C. Broeg +128
CHEOPS is a space telescope specifically designed to monitor transiting exoplanets orbiting bright stars. In September 2023, CHEOPS completed its nominal mission and remains in exc…
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…
Evidence of apsidal motion and a possible co-moving companion star detected in the WASP-19 system
L. M. Bernabò, Sz. Csizmadia, A. M. S. Smith +5
Love numbers measure the reaction of a celestial body to perturbing forces, such as the centrifugal force caused by rotation, or tidal forces resulting from the interaction with a…
A resonant sextuplet of sub-Neptunes transiting the bright star HD 110067
R. Luque, H. P. Osborn, A. Leleu +149
Planets with radii between that of the Earth and Neptune (hereafter referred to as sub-Neptunes) are found in close-in orbits around more than half of all Sun-like stars. Yet, thei…
CHEOPS observations of KELT-20 b/MASCARA-2 b: An aligned orbit and signs of variability from a reflective dayside
V. Singh, G. Scandariato, A. M. S. Smith +87
Occultations are windows of opportunity to indirectly peek into the dayside atmosphere of exoplanets. High-precision transit events provide information on the spin-orbit alignment…
Refining the properties of the TOI-178 system with CHEOPS and TESS
L. Delrez, A. Leleu, A. Brandeker +84
The TOI-178 system consists of a nearby late K-dwarf transited by six planets in the super-Earth to mini-Neptune regime, with orbital periods between 1.9 and 20.7 days. All planets…
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…
Investigating the visible phase-curve variability of 55 Cnc e
E. A. Meier Valdés, B. M. Morris, B. -O. Demory +87
55 Cnc e is an ultra-short period super-Earth transiting a Sun-like star. Previous observations in the optical range detected a time-variable flux modulation that is phased with th…
Refined parameters of the HD 22946 planetary system and the true orbital period of planet d
Z. Garai, H. P. Osborn, D. Gandolfi +85
Multi-planet systems are important sources of information regarding the evolution of planets. However, the long-period planets in these systems often escape detection. HD 22946 is…
TOI-5678 b: A 48-day transiting Neptune-mass planet characterized with CHEOPS and HARPS
S. Ulmer-Moll, H. P. Osborn, A. Tuson +92
A large sample of long-period giant planets has been discovered thanks to long-term radial velocity surveys, but only a few dozen of these planets have a precise radius measurement…
