Analysis of Early Science observations with the CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite (CHEOPS) using pycheops

P. F. L. Maxted, D. Ehrenreich, T. G. Wilson +77

CHEOPS(CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite) is an ESA S-class mission that observes bright stars at high cadence from low-Earth orbit. The main aim of the mission is to characterize…

Spi-OPS: Spitzer and CHEOPS confirm the near-polar orbit of MASCARA-1 b and reveal a hint of dayside reflection

M. J. Hooton, S. Hoyer, D. Kitzmann +82

The light curves of tidally locked hot Jupiters transiting fast-rotating, early-type stars are a rich source of information about both the planet and star, with full-phase coverage…

The changing face of AU Mic b: stellar spots, spin-orbit commensurability, and Transit Timing Variations as seen by CHEOPS and TESS

Gy. M. Szabó, D. Gandolfi, A. Brandeker +78

AU Mic is a young planetary system with a resolved debris disc showing signs of planet formation and two transiting warm Neptunes near mean-motion resonances. Here we analyse three…

Transit detection of the long-period volatile-rich super-Earth Lupi d with

Laetitia Delrez, David Ehrenreich, Yann Alibert +75

Exoplanets transiting bright nearby stars are key objects for advancing our knowledge of planetary formation and evolution. The wealth of photons from the host star gives detailed…

Exploiting timing capabilities of the CHEOPS mission with warm-Jupiter planets

Borsato L, Piotto G, Gandolfi D +75

We present 17 transit light curves of seven known warm-Jupiters observed with the CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS). The light curves have been collected as part of the C…

CHEOPS Precision Phase Curve of the Super-Earth 55 Cnc e

B. M. Morris, L. Delrez, A. Brandeker +79

55 Cnc e is a transiting super-Earth (radius and mass ) orbiting a G8V host star on a 17-hour orbit. Spitzer observations of the planet's phase…

The EBLM project -- VIII. First results for M-dwarf mass, radius and effective temperature measurements using CHEOPS light curves

M. I. Swayne, P. F. L. Maxted, A. H. M. J. Triaud +93

The accuracy of theoretical mass, radius and effective temperature values for M-dwarf stars is an active topic of debate. Differences between observed and theoretical values have r…

A transit survey to search for planets around hot subdwarfs: I. methods and performance tests on light curves from Kepler, K2, TESS, and CHEOPS

V. Van Grootel, F. J. Pozuelos, A. Thuillier +79

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…

CHEOPS observations of the HD 108236 planetary system: A fifth planet, improved ephemerides, and planetary radii

A. Bonfanti, L. Delrez, M. J. Hooton +106

The detection of a super-Earth and three mini-Neptunes transiting the bright ( = 9.2 mag) star HD 108236 (also known as TOI-1233) was recently reported on the basis of TESS and…

Six transiting planets and a chain of Laplace resonances in TOI-178

A. Leleu, Y. Alibert, N. C. Hara +152

Determining the architecture of multi-planetary systems is one of the cornerstones of understanding planet formation and evolution. Resonant systems are especially important as the…
