Being interested to micro-variability on time scales from few seconds to a hours even one CHEOPS orbit can get useful data.

Studying giant planets around evolved stars provides useful information on the impact of stellar evolution on planets their atmospheres and the architecture of planetary systems in general. These planets can also contribute to understanding the mechanism for late-stage planet inflation. It is thus necessary to have a good statistical sample of well-characterized giant planets around evolved stars. This program performs follow-up of TESS planet candidates around evolved stars to refine the radii of detected planets and also detect additional planets in order to populate this parameter space and allow better statistical study.

In spite of that their interior composition and therefore their origin has to date not been constrained observationally. The reason is the degeneracy in possible compositions that can explain their observed properties. Two end member compositions are theoretically suggested: dry rocky cores + about 1% of H/He or ocean planets containing about 50% water in mass. The former is suggested by evolutionary evaporation models the later by formation models. These compositions correspond to fundamentally different in situ formation versus orbital migration pathways. If observationally it should turn out that close-in sub-Neptunian planets are indeed water worlds this could be seen as one of the largest successes of planet formation theory. The opposite case would mean that one or several elements of our current understanding of the origin of planets is fundamentally flawed. It is therefore of paramount importance to answer the fundamental question “What are sub-Neptunes made of?”. With this program we propose a three-faceted approach to answer this question: 1) is there a grouping in density? 2) Preparing for the JWST opportunity. 3) Is the ice mass fraction correlated with the stellar composition? We propose to use CHEOPS for the precise radius determination of a carefully chosen sample of TESS planet candidate whose radii make them susceptible to be either ocean worlds or rocky cores with H/He envelopes.

High-precision radial velocity observations of AU Mic are hampered by the activity of the star as recently shown by Zicher et al. 2022 (MNRAS 512 3060) who measured the masses of planet b and c with a precision of “only” 43 % and 30 % using more than 100 HARPS measurements evenly spread across one year. Conversely CHEOPS have proven to be very effective in measuring planet masses of near-resonant transiting systems such as TOI-1130 b and c for which a precision of ?9 % has been achieved exploiting the TTV method. Our program requires transit observations of planet b and c to be carried out in July August. • studying the evolution time-scale of active regions across the transit cord using AU Mic b as a “scanner”. Unbiased measurements of Rp/R? can be determined only by modeling the transit light curves along with the map of the occulted (and unocculted see below) spots. This requires CHEOPS multiple observations of the transits of AU Mic b at the 4 possible star-planet configurations. By observing spot-crossing events of transits occurring at the same stellar longitudes as in 2020 and 2021’s CHEOPS observations we will also assess whether the distribution of spots has evolved or not.

One specific type of such candidates are Duotransits - candidates with two transits separated by a large gap (as is the case for around 400 TESS candidates observing in the primary and extended missions). Here Cheops is perfectly placed to recover the periods of such long period planets by observing potential period aliases. In this program we propose to use this method to recover the periods of super-Earths  and  Neptunes around bright stars with Cheops.    [truncated! Please see actual data for full text]

However the vast majority of such planets have short (P<20d) orbital periods. This is because long-period transiting planets do not produce consecutive transits in photometric survey data. However these planets are some of the most interesting as unlike their interior companions they are less affected by the gravitational and electromagnetic effects of their host stars. This programme will use CHEOPS to efficiently detect characterisable small transiting planets on long orbital periods. We will do this by leveraging as much external information as possible to constrain orbital periods - from nonconsecutive transits (i.e. mono- duo- or trio-transit candidates) in photometric survey data such as K2 or TESS and from radial velocities where available. Such techniques have been successful in the CHEOPS nominal mission with for example the photometrically-constrained TOI-2076 c  and  d (Osborn et al 2022) or the monotransit+RV case of TOI-561 d  and  e (Lacedelli et al 2021  and  2022). These planets once found by CHEOPS may also form interesting science targets for other parts of the GTO extended mission science case such as studying the architectural diversity of exoplanetary systems and even searches for exomoon  and  rings.

It is proposed to monitor one transit per target  the observing window centered on the transit time predicted by the best available ephemeris and lasting two times the uncertainty on T0 plus the transit duration.

Transit Timing Variations suggest that an additional resonant planet is likely present in the system. The rotation period of the star and the orbital period of AU Mic b are in a 7:4 spin-orbit commensurability. We also foundThere are systematic variations in the transit depth that correlate with the star's brightness strongly hampering the accuracy on the planetary radii. AU Mic displays differential rotation making it the youngest ``red'' star known to feature equator-to-pole spot migration.  AU Mic is a ``young goldmine'' for planetary and stellar physics a treasure chest just waiting to be opened. Thanks to its short-cadence space-born photometry CHEOPS is uniquely well suited to seize this opportunity. We propose to carry out an intensive CHEOPS observing campaign of AU Mic.    [truncated!

These planets either contain more than around one percent of gas (in mass) or no gas at all (see Owen and Wu 2017). This dichotomy when expressed in term of mass-radius relation implies the existence of a region in the mass-radius diagram of hot planets where dry planets cannot exist. We propose to observe planets that could lie in this region with CHEOPS. Combining a precise radius and mass will allow us to identify planets in this forbidden region hence showing that they have to contain volatiles most likely water. Our data combined with future JWST observations will also constrain the efficiency of evaporation.    [truncated! Please see actual data for full text]
