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…
A joint effort to discover and characterize two resonant mini Neptunes around TOI-1803 with TESS, HARPS-N and CHEOPS
T. Zingales, L. Malavolta, L. Borsato +130
We present the discovery of two mini Neptunes near a 2:1 orbital resonance configuration orbiting the K0 star TOI-1803. We describe their orbital architecture in detail and suggest…
Characterisation of the Warm-Jupiter TOI-1130 system with CHEOPS and photo-dynamical approach
L. Borsato, D. Degen, A. Leleu +93
Among the thousands of exoplanets discovered to date, approximately a few hundred gas giants on short-period orbits are classified as "lonely" and only a few are in a multi-planet…
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…
TESS and CHEOPS Discover Two Warm Sub-Neptunes Transiting the Bright K-dwarf HD 15906
Amy Tuson, Didier Queloz, Hugh P. Osborn +119
We report the discovery of two warm sub-Neptunes transiting the bright (G = 9.5 mag) K-dwarf HD 15906 (TOI 461, TIC 4646810). This star was observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Sur…
A new dynamical modeling of the WASP-47 system with CHEOPS observations
V. Nascimbeni, L. Borsato, T. Zingales +80
Among the hundreds of known hot Jupiters (HJs), only five have been found to have companions on short-period orbits. Within this rare class of multiple planetary systems, the archi…
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…
55 Cancri e's occultation captured with CHEOPS
B. -O. Demory, S. Sulis, E. Meier Valdes +73
Past occultation and phase-curve observations of the ultra-short period super-Earth 55 Cnc e obtained at visible and infrared wavelengths have been challenging to reconcile with a…
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…
