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…
A decade of monitoring the HIP 41378's planetary system
S. Grouffal, A. Santerne, X. Dumusque +32
Multi-planetary systems provide key constraints on planet formation and evolution, as their architecture encodes the dynamical history of planets formed within a common protoplanet…
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…
Assessment of PLATO Science Performance
Juan Cabrera, Heike Rauer, Reza Samadi +121
The PLATO mission is scheduled for launch early 2027. In this paper we present an overview of the performance drivers for the mission at the time where all flight models of the cam…
An Ultra-Short Period Super-Earth and Sub-Neptune Spanning the Radius Valley Orbiting the Kinematic Thick Disk Star TOI-2345
Yoshi Nike Emilia Eschen, Thomas G. Wilson, Andrea Bonfanti +94
A crucial chemical link between stars and their orbiting exoplanets is thought to exist. If universal, this connection could affect the formation and evolution of all planets. Ther…
The CHEOPS view of HD 95338b: refined transit parameters, and a search for exomoons
Sz. Kálmán, A. E. Simon, A. Deline +90
Despite the ever-increasing number of known exoplanets, no uncontested detections have been made of their satellites, known as exomoons. The quest to find exomoons is at the forefr…
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…
In-situ observations of resident space objects with the CHEOPS space telescope
Nicolas Billot, Stephan Hellmich, Willy Benz +80
The CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS) is a partnership between the European Space Agency and Switzerland with important contributions by 10 additional ESA member States.…
Photo-dynamical characterisation of the TOI-178 resonant chain
A. Leleu, J. -B. Delisle, L. Delrez +104
The TOI-178 system consists of a nearby late K-dwarf transited by six planets in the super-Earth to mini-Neptune regime, with radii ranging from 1.2 to 2.9 earth radius and orbital…
Constraining the reflective properties of WASP-178b using Cheops photometry
I. Pagano, G. Scandariato, V. Singh +79
Multiwavelength photometry of the secondary eclipses of extrasolar planets is able to disentangle the reflected and thermally emitted light radiated from the planetary dayside. Thi…
Activity time series of old stars from late F to early K VI. Exoplanet mass characterisation and detectability in radial velocity
Nadège Meunier, Romain Pous, Sophia Sulis +2
Stellar variability impacts radial velocities at various timescales and therefore the detectability of exoplanets and the mass determination based on this technique. It is necessar…
Oblique rings from migrating exomoons: A possible origin for long-period exoplanets with enlarged radii
Melaine Saillenfest, Sophia Sulis, Paul Charpentier +1
Context. The extremely low density of several long-period exoplanets in mature systems is still unexplained -- with HIP 41378 f being archetypical of this category. It has been pro…
Exploring the stellar surface phenomena of WASP-52 and HAT-P-30 with ESPRESSO
H. M. Cegla, N. Roguet-Kern, M. Lendl +21
We analyse spectroscopic and photometric transits of the hot Jupiters WASP-52b and HAT-P30b obtained with ESPRESSO, Eulercam and NGTS for both targets, and additional TESS data for…
The geometric albedo of the hot Jupiter HD 189733b measured with CHEOPS
A. F. Krenn, M. Lendl, J. A. Patel +84
Context. Measurements of the occultation of an exoplanet at visible wavelengths allow us to determine the reflective properties of a planetary atmosphere. The observed occultation…
55 Cancri e's occultation captured with CHEOPS
B. -O. Demory, S. Sulis, E. Meier Valdes +73
Past occultation and phase-curve observations of the ultra-short period super-Earth 55 Cnc e obtained at visible and infrared wavelengths have been challenging to reconcile with a…
Semi-supervised standardized detection of extrasolar planets
S. Sulis, D. Mary, L. Bigot +1
The detection of small exoplanets with the radial velocity (RV) technique is limited by various poorly known noise sources of instrumental and stellar origin. As a consequence, cur…
