In the near future the PLATO mission will survey with high precision the photometric variations of bright stars inxa0specific areas of the sky. The combination of those observations with the most precise spectrographs will certainly be of upmost interest to alleviate stellar activity effects and provide mass measurements below the meter per second level needed to reach PLATO’s science goals. CHEOPS represents a unique opportunity to take a step ahead in prevision of PLATO and valuably support extensive RV surveys. We propose a long-term absolute photometry campaign in parallel to an already secured intense RV monitoring on HD151288 a moderately active star with yet-unclear activity patterns. In the fashion of a filler program with very limited constraints those observations could shed light on the complex RV stellar activity signals and they would serve as a benchmark for CHEOPS long-term stability and ability to conduct precise absolute photometry.

However the accurate characterisation of parameters like the radius of the planet is limited by the enhanced activity of the host star. The impact of features like unocculted and occulted active regions is a growing challenge in the era of high-precision photometry and transmission spectroscopy and better characterisation of these features is now more vital than ever for the correct interpretation of atmospheres on exoplanets. Here we propose to precisely characterise the HIP 67522 system a 17 Myr Solar-like star exhibiting significant stellar activity and one of the youngest planet-hosting stars discovered to date. The HIP 67522 system consists of one confirmed transiting hot Jupiter (planet b) and an unconfirmed outer planet candidate (planet c). To characterise this key young system we aim to: i) obtain an accurate and precise radius measurement for the known transiting planet (planet b) by quantifying the effect of stellar activity on its transit depth and ii) confirm the candidate exoplanet (planet c) by following up the most likely period aliases of its two known transits. While accurately measuring the radius of planet b is vital for testing different planet formation and evolution models for hot Jupiters confirming planet c will make this the youngest multi-planet transiting system ever discovered making this a very compelling system to be observed by CHEOPS.

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.

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]

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.

However confirming/investigating grazing transiting exoplanets is also important. In a grazing transit the second and third contact points are missing the transit profile is V-shaped similar to that of an eclipsing binary. Consequently the light-curve solution is degenerate. Fortunately there is a solution: we need very high-quality multicolour photometric observations. Following this possibility we propose to utilise the colour difference between TESS and CHEOPS in order to refine the parameters and to confirm the grazing nature of selected transiting exoplanets namely TOI-3540 b and TOI-2193 b.

Only five such systems are known so far. Our goal is to increase the sample size by confirming and characterizing five TESS candidates with such an architecture and improving their orbital/physical parameters including ephemeris radii and (when feasible) planetary masses through TTVs. As demonstrated by our work on WASP-47 RVs and TTVs are very synergistic at decoding these complex systems. A dedicated RV follow-up will be coordinated.    [truncated!

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 stars 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!

The minute details of their architectures encode the history of their formation: the order of the capture of the planets in the chain (Delisle 2017) the local shape of the proto-planetary disc and its dispersal (e.g.  Nesvorny et al 2022) and the long-term evolution of the system through tidal dissipation (e.g. Papaloizou et al 2018). The high multiplicity of these systems also makes them especially valuable to constrain our models of the formation of planetary systems (See Emsenhuber et al 2022 and other papers of the NGPPS series) since all the planets have to form in the same environment and the relative fragility of the configuration ensures that no violent evolution (e.g. close encounters/impacts) occurred after the dissipation of the proto-planetary disc (Leleu et al 2021). In addition the transit timing variations induced by the compactness of the systems allow for precise mass determination down to a few per cent in the case of Trappist-1 (Agol et al 2021). This allows an in-depth characterization of moderately insolated rocky planets and mini-Neptune with a precision which is rarely reachable through radial velocities enabling studies of their interiors and atmospheres. The brightness of the current targets of the program (Gaia band mag 11 for TOI178 12 for K2-138 8.4 for TOI1835) allows to combine RVs and photometric measurements.
