TESS phase curve of ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-189 b

J. A. Patel, D. Kitzmann, A. Brandeker +4

The thermal structures of highly irradiated ultra-hot Jupiters can deviate substantially from those of cooler hot Jupiters. For planets orbiting rapidly rotating, and consequently…

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…

The GAPS programme at TNG LXIV: An inner eccentric sub-Neptune and an outer sub-Neptune-mass candidate around BD+00 444 (TOI-2443)

L. Naponiello, A. S. Bonomo, L. Mancini +25

We examined in depth the star BD+00 444 (GJ 105.5, TOI-2443; V = 9.5 mag; d = 23.9 pc), with the aim of characterizing and confirming the planetary nature of its small companion, t…

A close outer companion to the ultra-hot Jupiter TOI-2109 b?

J. -V. Harre, A. M. S. Smith, S. C. C. Barros +86

Hot Jupiters with close-by planetary companions are rare, with only a handful of them having been discovered so far. This could be due to their suggested dynamical histories, leadi…

The CHEOPS view on the climate of WASP-3 b

G. Scandariato, L. Carone, P. E. Cubillos +83

Hot Jupiters are giant planets subject to intense stellar radiation. The physical and chemical properties of their atmosphere makes them the most amenable targets for the atmospher…

The GAPS programme at TNG. LVII. TOI-5076b: A warm sub-Neptune planet orbiting a thin-to-thick-disk transition star in a wide binary system

M. Montalto, N. Greco, K. Biazzo +36

Aims. We report the confirmation of a new transiting exoplanet orbiting the star TOI-5076. Methods. We present our vetting procedure and follow-up observations which led to the con…

The GAPS Programme at TNG. XXX: Characterization of the low-density gas giant HAT-P-67 b with GIARPS

D. Sicilia, G. Scandariato, G. Guilluy +28

HAT-P-67 b is one of the lowest-density gas giants known to date, making it an excellent target for atmospheric characterization through the transmission spectroscopy technique. In…

The GAPS Programme at TNG LV. Multiple molecular species in the atmosphere of HAT-P-11 b and review of the HAT-P-11 planetary system

M. Basilicata, P. Giacobbe, A. S. Bonomo +29

The atmospheric characterisation of hot and warm Neptune-size exoplanets is challenging due to their small radius and atmospheric scale height. The warm-Neptune HAT-P-11b is a rema…

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…

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…

Constraining the reflective properties of WASP-178b using Cheops photometry

I. Pagano, G. Scandariato, V. Singh +79

Multiwavelength photometry of the secondary eclipses of extrasolar planets is able to disentangle the reflected and thermally emitted light radiated from the planetary dayside. Thi…

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…

The phase curve and the geometric albedo of WASP-43b measured with CHEOPS, TESS and HST WFC3/UVIS

G. Scandariato, V. Singh, D. Kitzmann +79

Observations of the phase curves and secondary eclipses of extrasolar planets provide a window on the composition and thermal structure of the planetary atmospheres. For example, t…

CHEOPS finds KELT-1b darker than expected in visible light: Discrepancy between the CHEOPS and TESS eclipse depths

H. Parviainen, T. G. Wilson, M. Lendl +78

Recent TESS-based studies have suggested that the dayside of KELT-1b, a strongly-irradiated brown dwarf, is significantly brighter in visible light than what would be expected base…
