CHEOPS photometry from 2024 reveals a reversal in the transit-timing variations of AU Mic c

Z. Garai, Gy. M. Szabó, D. Gandolfi +90

We present new CHEOPS transit observations of AU Mic b and AU Mic c obtained between June and September 2024, extending the baseline of transit-timing measurements of this young pl…

A preliminary exploration of the effects of baseline length for the LIFE space mission

Jonah T. Hansen, Thomas Birbacher, Felix A. Dannert +7

By aiming to find and characterise dozens of habitable exoplanets through the technique of nulling interferometry, the LIFE space mission will produce transformational science. One…

An Adolescent and Near-Resonant Planetary System Near the End of Photoevaporation

Mu-Tian Wang, Fei Dai, Hui-Gen Liu +28

Young exoplanets provide vital insights into the early dynamical and atmospheric evolution of planetary systems. Many multi-planet systems younger than 100 Myr exhibit mean-motion…

Gas-depleted planet formation occurred in the four-planet system around the red dwarf LHS 1903

Thomas G. Wilson, Anna M. Simpson, Andrew Collier Cameron +173

Small exoplanet radii show two populations, referred to as super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, separated by a gap known as the radius valley. This may be produced by the removal of atmo…

An Ultra-Short Period Super-Earth and Sub-Neptune Spanning the Radius Valley Orbiting the Kinematic Thick Disk Star TOI-2345

Yoshi Nike Emilia Eschen, Thomas G. Wilson, Andrea Bonfanti +94

A crucial chemical link between stars and their orbiting exoplanets is thought to exist. If universal, this connection could affect the formation and evolution of all planets. Ther…

CHEOPS Ground Segment: Systems and Automation for Mission and Science Operations

Alexis Heitzmann, María J. González Bonilla, Anja Bekkelien +15

The CHEOPS, the first ESA small-class mission, has been performing photometric astronomical observations with a particular emphasis on exoplanetary science for the past five years.…

Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE). XIV. Finding terrestrial protoplanets in the galactic neighborhood

Lorenzo Cesario, Tim Lichtenberg, Eleonora Alei +62

The increased brightness temperature of young rocky protoplanets during their magma ocean epoch makes them potentially amenable to atmospheric characterization to distances from th…

CHEOPS performance for exomoons: The detectability of exomoons by using optimal decision algorithm

A. E. Simon, Gy. M. Szabó, L. L. Kiss +2

Many attempts have already been made for detecting exomoons around transiting exoplanets but the first confirmed discovery is still pending. The experience that have been gathered…

CHEOPS: A Transit Photometry Mission for ESA's Small Mission Programme

C. Broeg, A. Fortier, D. Ehrenreich +18

Ground based radial velocity (RV) searches continue to discover exoplanets below Neptune mass down to Earth mass. Furthermore, ground based transit searches now reach milli-mag pho…

Planet formation models: the interplay with the planetesimal disc

A. Fortier, Y. Alibert, F. Carron +2

According to the sequential accretion model, giant planet formation is based first on the formation of a solid core which, when massive enough, can gravitationally bind gas from th…
