The THOR+HELIOS general circulation model: multi-wavelength radiative transfer with accurate scattering by clouds/hazes
Russell Deitrick, Kevin Heng, Urs Schroffenegger +5
General circulation models (GCMs) provide context for interpreting multi-wavelength, multi-phase data of the atmospheres of tidally locked exoplanets. In the current study, the non…
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…
Transit timing variations of AU Microscopii b and c
Gy. M. Szabó, Z. Garai, A. Brandeker +76
Here we report large-amplitude transit timing variations (TTVs) for AU\,Microcopii b and c as detected in combined TESS (2018, 2020) and CHEOPS (2020, 2021) transit observations. A…
CHEOPS Precision Phase Curve of the Super-Earth 55 Cnc e
B. M. Morris, L. Delrez, A. Brandeker +79
55 Cnc e is a transiting super-Earth (radius and mass ) orbiting a G8V host star on a 17-hour orbit. Spitzer observations of the planet's phase…
A CHEOPS White Dwarf Transit Search
Brett M. Morris, Kevin Heng, Alexis Brandeker +2
White dwarf spectroscopy shows that nearly half of white dwarf atmospheres contain metals that must have been accreted from planetary material that survived the red giant phases of…
Closed-formed ab initio solutions of geometric albedos and reflected light phase curves of exoplanets
Kevin Heng, Brett M. Morris, Daniel Kitzmann
Studying the albedos of the planets and moons of the Solar System dates back at least a century. Of particular interest is the relationship between the albedo measured at superior…
