GJ 367b: A dense ultra-short period sub-Earth planet transiting a nearby red dwarf star

Kristine W. F. Lam, Szilárd Csizmadia, Nicola Astudillo-Defru +75

Ultra-short-period (USP) exoplanets have orbital periods shorter than one day. Precise masses and radii of USPs could provide constraints on their unknown formation and evolution p…

Analysis of Early Science observations with the CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite (CHEOPS) using pycheops

P. F. L. Maxted, D. Ehrenreich, T. G. Wilson +77

CHEOPS(CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite) is an ESA S-class mission that observes bright stars at high cadence from low-Earth orbit. The main aim of the mission is to characterize…

The PLATO field selection process I. Identification and content of the long-pointing fields

V. Nascimbeni, G. Piotto, A. Börner +26

PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is an ESA M-class satellite planned for launch by end 2026 and dedicated to the wide-field search of transiting planets around…

Spi-OPS: Spitzer and CHEOPS confirm the near-polar orbit of MASCARA-1 b and reveal a hint of dayside reflection

M. J. Hooton, S. Hoyer, D. Kitzmann +82

The light curves of tidally locked hot Jupiters transiting fast-rotating, early-type stars are a rich source of information about both the planet and star, with full-phase coverage…

The all-sky PLATO input catalogue

M. Montalto, G. Piotto, P. M. Marrese +29

Context. The ESA PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) mission will search for terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of solar-type stars. Because of telemetry li…

Constraining the radius and atmospheric properties of directly imaged exoplanets through multi-phase observations

Óscar Carrión-González, Antonio García Muñoz, Nuno C. Santos +3

The theory of remote sensing shows that observing a planet at multiple phase angles () is a powerful strategy to characterize its atmosphere. Here, we analyse how the informatio…
