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 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…

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…

Characterisation of the Warm-Jupiter TOI-1130 system with CHEOPS and photo-dynamical approach

L. Borsato, D. Degen, A. Leleu +93

Among the thousands of exoplanets discovered to date, approximately a few hundred gas giants on short-period orbits are classified as "lonely" and only a few are in a multi-planet…

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…

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…

A new dynamical modeling of the WASP-47 system with CHEOPS observations

V. Nascimbeni, L. Borsato, T. Zingales +80

Among the hundreds of known hot Jupiters (HJs), only five have been found to have companions on short-period orbits. Within this rare class of multiple planetary systems, the archi…

Connecting photometric and spectroscopic granulation signals with CHEOPS and ESPRESSO

S. Sulis, M. Lendl, H. Cegla +83

Stellar granulation generates fluctuations in photometric and spectroscopic data whose properties depend on the stellar type, composition, and evolutionary state. In this study, we…

CHEOPS geometric albedo of the hot Jupiter HD 209458b

A. Brandeker, K. Heng, M. Lendl +74

We report the detection of the secondary eclipse of the hot Jupiter HD 209458b in optical/visible light using the CHEOPS space telescope. Our measurement of 20.4 +/- 3.3 ppm transl…

CHEOPS observations of the HD 108236 planetary system: A fifth planet, improved ephemerides, and planetary radii

A. Bonfanti, L. Delrez, M. J. Hooton +106

The detection of a super-Earth and three mini-Neptunes transiting the bright ( = 9.2 mag) star HD 108236 (also known as TOI-1233) was recently reported on the basis of TESS and…

Six transiting planets and a chain of Laplace resonances in TOI-178

A. Leleu, Y. Alibert, N. C. Hara +152

Determining the architecture of multi-planetary systems is one of the cornerstones of understanding planet formation and evolution. Resonant systems are especially important as the…
