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).

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. The two methods have a great synergy as TTVs allow for in-depth characte [truncated! Please see actual data for full text]

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.

Transit timing variations (TTVs) can bypass stellar activity issues that can hinder RVs observations to achieve accurate mass determination and transit timing monitoring may reveal tidal decay that can inform the orbital evolution history of planets. The accuracy of these methods is mainly driven by 1) the knowledge of individual transit centre times and 2) the number of transits obtained and their baseline and sampling.   PLATO will launch at the end of 2026 and focus on the detection of new exoplanets around bright stars. A supplementary scientific outcome will be the continuous observation of known exoplanets that will provide TTV/tidal decay monitoring. However to constrain planetary masses and orbit evolution we need to fill in gaps in the long-baseline data between the discovery transits and those that PLATO will observe. To do this we will observe transits of known exoplanets in the PLATO long- stare fields that are visible by CHEOPS.    [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 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.
