Searching for hot water world candidates with CHEOPS: II. A low-density super-Earth orbiting the K dwarf TOI-2211
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…

We provide a detailed characterisation of the planetary system orbiting HD 85426 (TOI-1774). This bright G-type star (: 0.99 ; : 1.13 $\text{R…
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…

TOI-1203 is a bright (V=8.6) G3 V star known to host a transiting warm sub-Neptune on a 25.5 d orbit. Here we report on an intensive high-precision radial velocity and photometric…

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…
Transit-timing variations in the AU Mic system observed with CHEOPS
Á. Boldog, Gy. M. Szabó, L. Kriskovics +86
AU Mic is a very active M dwarf with an edge-on debris disk and two transiting sub-Neptunes with a possible third planetary companion. The two transiting planets exhibit significan…
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…
CHEOPS observations confirm nodal precession in the WASP-33 system
A. M. S. Smith, Sz. Csizmadia, V. Van Grootel +86
Aims: We aim to observe the transits and occultations of WASP-33b, which orbits a rapidly-rotating Scuti pulsator, with the goal of measuring the orbital obliquity via the grav…
A joint effort to discover and characterize two resonant mini Neptunes around TOI-1803 with TESS, HARPS-N and CHEOPS

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…
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…
Architecture of TOI-561 planetary system
G. Piotto, T. Zingales, L. Borsato +89
