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 exoplanets that transit nearby stars using ultrahigh precision photometry. Here, we report the analysis of transits observed by CHEOPS during its Early Science observi…

A pair of sub-Neptunes transiting the bright K-dwarf TOI-1064 characterized with CHEOPS

We report the discovery and characterization of a pair of sub-Neptunes transiting the bright K-dwarf TOI-1064 (TIC 79748331), initially detected in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) photometry. To characterize the system, we performed and retrieved the CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite (CHEOPS), TESS, and ground-based photometry, …

Investigating the architecture and internal structure of the TOI-561 system planets with CHEOPS, HARPS-N, and TESS
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac199 Bibcode: 2022MNRAS.511.4551L

Guterman, P.; Alonso, R.; Deleuil, M. +115 more

We present a precise characterization of the TOI-561 planetary system obtained by combining previously published data with TESS and CHEOPS photometry, and a new set of 62 HARPS-N radial velocities (RVs). Our joint analysis confirms the presence of four transiting planets, namely TOI-561 b (P = 0.45 d, R = 1.42 R, M = 2.0 M)…

Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars - III. SPIRou near-infrared spectroscopy and CHEOPS photometry of the benchmark G0V star EBLM J0113+31
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac1270 Bibcode: 2022MNRAS.513.6042M

Alonso, R.; Deleuil, M.; Erikson, A. +74 more

EBLM J0113+31 is a moderately bright (V = 10.1), metal-poor ([Fe/H] ≈-0.3) G0V star with a much fainter M dwarf companion on a wide, eccentric orbit (= 14.3 d). We have used near-infrared spectroscopy obtained with the SPIRou spectrograph to measure the semi-amplitude of the M dwarf's spectroscopic orbit, and high-precision photometry of the eclip…

Rapidly rotating stars and their transiting planets: KELT-17b, KELT-19Ab, and KELT-21b in the CHEOPS and TESS era
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac1095 Bibcode: 2022MNRAS.513.2822G

Kovács, J.; Claret, A.; Kundra, E. +4 more

Rapidly rotating early-type main-sequence stars with transiting planets are interesting in many aspects. Unfortunately, several astrophysical effects in such systems are not well understood yet. Therefore, we performed a photometric mini-survey of three rapidly rotating stars with transiting planets, namely KELT-17b, KELT-19Ab, and KELT-21b, using…
