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). CHATEAUX envisions passing this data to the community. This will be a pilot to test the programmatic ability of the program before being fully implemented at a later date (including in the extended mission).    [truncated!

Their large radii coupled with the high S/N ratio achievable thanks to their extended atmospheres makes them the perfect target for current observational facilities. In this restricted pool of planets WASP-17b is an ideal case study. With an equilibrium temperature of ~1800 K this inflated hot-Jupiter is expected to display signatures of metal oxides and hydrides in absorption. However recent studies showed that the host star a F6 dwarf appears to be considerably more active than expected. The ability of stellar spots and faculae to mimic absorption features in a planetary atmosphere or hide them altogether is one of the most serious obstacles in exoplanet transmission studies. The high-precision photometer aboard CHEOPS is the optimal instrument to monitor the transit of WASP-17b for two main reasons. Being centred at 0.6 µm the CHEOPS photometer targets specifically the wavelengths where the stellar spectrum peaks and where optical absorbers display strong absorption features. Hence CHEOPS data is essential to solve the ongoing disputes on this planetary system regarding the activity of the host star and the presence of refractory elements in the atmosphere of the companion planet. At least 11 transits with a very high coverage (>65%) are expected to occur during AO-3 making WASP-17 b an excellent target for CHEOPS.  </ul [truncated! Please see actual data for full text]

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 characterization of [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!

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.).

We searched the 140000 highest precision TESS light curves in the southern ecliptic hemisphere. We find 27 new short-period giant exoplanet candidates which are currently being monitored for radial velocity variations with HARPS.  Of these two are ideal candidates to be followed up with CHEOPS which will provide a high precision phase curve at a wavelength bluer than TESS to disentangle reflection and thermal emission.  The candidates have extremely short periods of 0.88 and 0.74 days. The host stars are bright (g=11.2 and 11.5) and well-isolated from other bright sources.  If successful these would be the FIRST non-transiting exoplanets discovered by phase curves from the TESS/CHEOPS missions.    [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.

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.

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 particular several studies have demonstrated that different thermal structures and wind patterns over the morning and evening terminator can produce an inhomogeneous cloud coverage over the atmosphere. However a common assumption made while performing transmission spectroscopy of exoplanets is of a homogeneous atmosphere. Considering such an inhomogeneous atmosphere as a homogeneous one can lead to biases in retrieved atmospheric properties. Inhomogeneities in the atmosphere also leave an impact on broadband photometry. In this program we aim to detect this effect directly on the transit lightcurve of three planets. The magnitude of this effect could be as large as 1000 ppm for suitable targets which CHEOPS should be able to detect comfortably. While inhomogeneity can be in chemical structure or aerosol properties we mainly aim to put constraints on asymmetric cloud coverage with CHEOPS observations. We have identified WASP-54 b HAT-P-30 b and WASP-131 b as being the best candidates for detection due to their atmospheric transmission signal transit duration and temperature. Our observations would pave a way for future observations with spectroscopic capabilities to constrain the inhomogeneous atmospheres of these planets.    [truncated!
