Transit Timing Variations in HIP 41378: CHEOPS and TESS confirm a non-transiting sixth planet in the system
P. Leonardi, L. Borsato, L. Pagliaro +89
In multiple-planet systems, gravitational interactions of exoplanets could lead to transit timing variations (TTVs), whose amplitude becomes significantly enhanced when planets are…
Two warm Earth-sized exoplanets and an Earth-sized candidate in the M5V-M6V binary system TOI-2267

We report two warm Earth-sized exoplanets orbiting the close binary TOI-2267 (M5+M6, separation ~8 au). Data from TESS and ground-based facilities confirm the planets, but we canno…
Improved characterization of the TOI-2141 system: a dense sub-Neptune with non-transiting inner and outer companions

We aim to refine the fundamental parameters of the TOI-2141 planetary system, which includes a transiting sub-Neptune orbiting a Sun-like star in a relatively long orbit of 18.26 d…
The CHEOPS view of HD 95338b: refined transit parameters, and a search for exomoons
Sz. Kálmán, A. E. Simon, A. Deline +90
Despite the ever-increasing number of known exoplanets, no uncontested detections have been made of their satellites, known as exomoons. The quest to find exomoons is at the forefr…
The KELT-7b atmospheric thermal-inversion conundrum revisited with CHEOPS, TESS, and additional data
Z. Garai, A. Krenn, P. E. Cubillos +84
Ultrahot Jupiters are predicted to show inverted temperature-pressure (T-P) profiles in the presence of optical absorbers such as TiO and VO. An inverted T-P profile of KELT-7b was…
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…
Searching for Hot Water World Candidates with CHEOPS: Refining the radii and analysing the internal structures and atmospheric lifetimes of TOI-238 b and TOI-1685 b
J. A. Egger, D. Kubyshkina, Y. Alibert +85
Studying the composition of exoplanets is one of the most promising approaches to observationally constrain planet formation and evolution processes. However, this endeavour is com…
A possible misaligned orbit for the young planet AU Mic c
H. Yu, Z. Garai, M. Cretignier +98
The AU Microscopii planetary system is only 24 Myr old, and its geometry may provide clues about the early dynamical history of planetary systems. Here, we present the first measur…
