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…

CoBiToM project. III. Physical characterisation of the potential merger candidates AL Lep, ASAS J082243+1927.0, and ZZ PsA

Sofia Palafouta, Kosmas D. Gazeas, Pasi Hakala +3

Contact binaries (CBs) are key systems for investigating the late evolutionary stages that may lead to stellar coalescence. Systems with an extremely low mass ratio and high fill-o…

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…

Size, shape, density, and atmospheric limit of (50000) Quaoar revealed from 14 years of stellar occultation

Giuliano Margoti, Felipe Braga-Ribas, José Luis Ortiz +173

We present results from 28 stellar occultations by the large Trans-Neptunian Object (50000) Quaoar registered between 2018 and 2025. By performing a joint analysis of this occultat…

An Ultra-Short Period Super-Earth and a Sub-Neptune Orbiting the K dwarf TOI-4311

Yoshi Nike Emilia Eschen, Thomas G. Wilson, Andrew Collier Cameron +95

We report the discovery and characterisation of the multi-planetary system around TOI-4311, a K dwarf kinematically between the Galactic thick disk and Hercules stream. TOI-4311 ho…

The multi-planet system TOI-5624: Four transiting sub-Neptunes with an outer companion revealed by transit-timing variations

A. Bonfanti, D. Gandolfi, P. Leonardi +96

Following the 2022 alert of a TESS object of interest transiting TOI-5624 (a G7 V star 100 pc away), a CHEOPS campaign in 2023 detected four planetary signals at $P_b\approx3…
