Gas-depleted planet formation occurred in the four-planet system around the red dwarf LHS 1903

Thomas G. Wilson, Anna M. Simpson, Andrew Collier Cameron +173

Small exoplanet radii show two populations, referred to as super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, separated by a gap known as the radius valley. This may be produced by the removal of atmo…

An Ultra-Short Period Super-Earth and Sub-Neptune Spanning the Radius Valley Orbiting the Kinematic Thick Disk Star TOI-2345

Yoshi Nike Emilia Eschen, Thomas G. Wilson, Andrea Bonfanti +94

A crucial chemical link between stars and their orbiting exoplanets is thought to exist. If universal, this connection could affect the formation and evolution of all planets. Ther…

Dark skies of the slightly eccentric WASP-18 b from its optical-to-infrared dayside emission

A. Deline, P. E. Cubillos, L. Carone +86

We performed a joint analysis of phase-curve observations of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-18 b from the visible to the mid-infrared, using data from CHEOPS, TESS and Spitzer. We aim…

Detailed cool star flare morphology with CHEOPS and TESS

G. Bruno, I. Pagano, G. Scandariato +79

Context. White-light stellar flares are proxies for some of the most energetic types of flares, but their triggering mechanism is still poorly understood. As they are associated wi…

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 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…

Hint of an exocomet transit in the CHEOPS lightcurve of HD 172555

F. Kiefer, V. Van Grootel, A. Lecavelier des Etangs +72

HD172555 is a young (20Myr) A7V star surrounded by a 10au wide debris disk suspected to be replenished partly by collisions between large planetesimals. Small eva…

A CHEOPS-enhanced view of the HD3167 system

V. Bourrier, A. Deline, A. Krenn +92

Much remains to be understood about the nature of exoplanets smaller than Neptune, most of which have been discovered in compact multi-planet systems. With its inner ultra-short pe…

A stellar occultation by the transneptunian object (50000) Quaoar observed by CHEOPS

B. E. Morgado, G. Bruno, A. R. Gomes-Júnior +82

Stellar occultation is a powerful technique that allows the determination of some physical parameters of the occulting object. The result depends on the photometric accuracy, the t…

The stable climate of KELT-9b

K. D. Jones, B. M. Morris, B. -O. Demory +76

Even among the most irradiated gas giants, so-called ultra-hot Jupiters, KELT-9b stands out as the hottest planet thus far discovered with a dayside temperature of over 4500K. At t…
