Observing young planetary systems allow us to gain insights into the physical processes that shape the mature planetary population. TIC 434398831 is a pre-main-seqeunce Sun-like star (G7V G = 11.7893) hosting two transiting mini-Neptunes. Gaia kinematics place TIC 434398831 in the 48-Myr Taurus-Orion II moving group. We identified two planetary candidates TIC 434398831.01 (Rp = 3.65 Rearth P = 3.61 days) and TIC 434398831.02 (Rp = 5.41 Rearth P = 6.12 days) through an independent search for young planets located in known moving groups from the TESS's Full Frame Images (FFIs) light curves. We propose to use 4 visits of CHEOPS to observe two transits of both TIC 434398831.01 and TIC 434398831.02 which is necessary for the confirmation of this exemplar system as high-precision space-based photometry is needed to overcome the photometric modulations of the young star. Our CHEOPS observations will have the capability to anchor the optical transit depths of the two young planets which will enable us to distinguish between different cloud and haze scenarios in future atmospheric observations.

Measuring the tidal deformation of the planet allows us to estimate the second-degree fluid Love number and gain insight into the planet's internal structure. Moreover measuring the tidal decay timescale allows us to estimate the stellar tidal quality factor which is key to constraining stellar physics. Therefore studying tidal effects in ultra-short orbital period planets gives us a wealth of information on planet-to-star tidal interactions that shape planetary systems. We also propose to estimate the tidal decay of a few hot-Jupiters for which we expect a measurable orbital period decrease within the next 3 years. The longer baseline allowed by the CHEOPS extension will be crucial for our ability to measure the tidal decay of some systems. During the CHEOPS nominal mission we achieved a breakthrough on the direct detection of the tidal deformation of exoplanets. Building on these results we also propose to better constrain the tidal deformation of WASP-103b and WASP-12b directly from the transit deformation signature (similar to  Barros et al. 2022) and also from the signature in the phase curve (similar to Akinsanmi et al. in prep.).

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.

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]

There are so many such targets that even with strict filters to ensure targets are small planets several unconfirmed TESS candidates are transiting at any one time. CHATEAUX proposes to use time-critical P3 Cheops observations of a filtered  and  ranked set of TOIs which would be able to be scheduled between higher-priority time-critical Cheops observations. We expect these filler observations will produce useful scientific observations of TOI candidates including ephemeris improvements TTV detection improved radius precision and improved false positive probabilities (thanks to both ruling our chromaticity and centroid shifts).

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.

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.

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.
