A four-planet system orbiting the old thick disk star TOI-1203

D. Gandolfi, A. Alnajjarine, L. M. Serrano +120

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…

Improved characterization of the TOI-2141 system: a dense sub-Neptune with non-transiting inner and outer companions

R. Luque, K. W. F. Lam, J. Cabrera +87

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…

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 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

We present new observations from CHEOPS and TESS to clarify the architecture of the planetary system hosted by the old Galactic thick disk star TOI-561. Our global analysis, which…

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 K2-24 planetary system revisited by CHEOPS

V. Nascimbeni, L. Borsato, P. Leonardi +82

K2-24 is a planetary system composed of two transiting low-density Neptunians locked in an almost perfect 2:1 resonance and showing large TTVs, i.e., an excellent laboratory to sea…

Unveiling the internal structure and formation history of the three planets transiting HIP 29442 (TOI-469) with CHEOPS

J. A. Egger, H. P. Osborn, D. Kubyshkina +91

Multiplanetary systems spanning the radius valley are ideal testing grounds for exploring the proposed explanations for the observed bimodality in the radius distribution of close-…

CHEOPS in-flight performance: A comprehensive look at the first 3.5 years of operations

A. Fortier, A. E. Simon, C. Broeg +128

CHEOPS is a space telescope specifically designed to monitor transiting exoplanets orbiting bright stars. In September 2023, CHEOPS completed its nominal mission and remains in exc…

HIP 41378 observed by CHEOPS: Where is planet d?

S. Sulis, L. Borsato, S. Grouffal +84

HIP 41378 d is a long-period planet that has only been observed to transit twice, three years apart, with K2. According to stability considerations and a partial detection of the R…

Detailed cool star flare morphology with CHEOPS and TESS

G. Bruno, I. Pagano, G. Scandariato +79

Context. White-light stellar flares are proxies for some of the most energetic types of flares, but their triggering mechanism is still poorly understood. As they are associated wi…
