J. A. Egger, P. Cortés-Zuleta, D. Kubyshkina +98
Small exoplanets on close-in orbits are exposed to high levels of stellar irradiation, which can effectively remove low-mass primordial H/He envelopes through atmospheric escape. U…

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…
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…
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…
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…

Hugh P. Osborn, Grzegorz Nowak, Guillaume Hébrard +126
HIP 9618 (HD 12572, TOI-1471, TIC 306263608) is a bright ( mag) solar analogue. TESS photometry revealed the star to have two candidate planets with radii of …
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…
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…

TOI-1055 is a Sun-like star known to host a transiting Neptune-sized planet on a 17.5-day orbit (TOI-1055 b). Radial velocity (RV) analyses carried out by two independent groups us…
Glancing through the debris disk: Photometric analysis of DE Boo with CHEOPS
Á. Boldog, Gy. M. Szabó, L. Kriskovics +76
DE Boo is a unique system, with an edge-on view through the debris disk around the star. The disk, which is analogous to the Kuiper belt in the Solar System, was reported to extend…
