Measuring the orbit shrinkage rate of hot Jupiters due to tides
N. M. Rosário, S. C. C. Barros, O. D. S. Demangeon +1
A tidal interaction between a star and a close-in exoplanet leads to shrinkage of the planetary orbit and eventual tidal disruption of the planet. Measuring the shrinkage of the or…

S. Grouffal, A. Santerne, V. Bourrier +17
The Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect is a method that allows us to measure the orbital obliquity of planets, which is an important constraint that has been used to understand the fo…

O. Balsalobre-Ruza, J. Lillo-Box, A. Berihuete +16
Ground-based observing time is precious in the era of exoplanet follow-up and characterization, especially in high-precision radial velocity instruments. Blind-search radial veloci…
The KOBE experiment: K-dwarfs Orbited By habitable Exoplanets. Project goals, target selection and stellar characterization
J. Lillo-Box, N. C. Santos, A. Santerne +33
The detection of habitable worlds is one of humanity's greatest endeavors. So far, astrobiological studies show that one of the most critical components for life development is liq…
A CHEOPS-enhanced view of the HD3167 system
V. Bourrier, A. Deline, A. Krenn +92
Much remains to be understood about the nature of exoplanets smaller than Neptune, most of which have been discovered in compact multi-planet systems. With its inner ultra-short pe…
The phase curve and the geometric albedo of WASP-43b measured with CHEOPS, TESS and HST WFC3/UVIS
G. Scandariato, V. Singh, D. Kitzmann +79
Observations of the phase curves and secondary eclipses of extrasolar planets provide a window on the composition and thermal structure of the planetary atmospheres. For example, t…
CHEOPS finds KELT-1b darker than expected in visible light: Discrepancy between the CHEOPS and TESS eclipse depths
H. Parviainen, T. G. Wilson, M. Lendl +78
Recent TESS-based studies have suggested that the dayside of KELT-1b, a strongly-irradiated brown dwarf, is significantly brighter in visible light than what would be expected base…
The EBLM project -- IX. Five fully convective M-dwarfs, precisely measured with CHEOPS and TESS light curves
D. Sebastian, M. I. Swayne, P. F. L. Maxted +85
Eclipsing binaries are important benchmark objects to test and calibrate stellar structure and evolution models. This is especially true for binaries with a fully convective M-dwar…
