We aim to constrain the internal structure and composition of HD 15337 b and c, two short-period planets situated on opposite sides of the radius valley, using new transit photomet…
The tidal deformation and atmosphere of WASP-12b from its phase curve
B. Akinsanmi, S. C. C. Barros, M. Lendl +85
Ultra-hot Jupiters present a unique opportunity to understand the physics and chemistry of planets at extreme conditions. WASP-12b stands out as an archetype of this class of exopl…

TOI-732 is an M dwarf hosting two transiting planets that are located on the two opposite sides of the radius valley. By doubling the number of available space-based observations a…
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…
