ESA CHEOPS – Characterising Exoplanet Satellite

ESA’s CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite. Studying known #exoplanets and the #time-domain #Universe 💫🛰️ In partnership with🇨🇭 & 10 ESA Member States

[ESA CHEOPS – Characterising Exoplanet Satellite @ESA_CHEOPS]

CHEOPS does much more than characterising exoplanets!

Discover how our high-precision photometry is advancing complementary science:

- Stellar flares & magnetic activity: Bruno et al. (2024)

- Stellar pulsations & granulation: Salmon et al. (2024)

- A possible exocomet transit around HD 172555: Kiefer et al. (2023)

- Fundamental properties of low-mass stars in eclipsing binaries: Swayne et al. (2024)

- A stellar occultation by the distant object Quaoar, probing its position and possible atmosphere: Morgado et al. (2022)

Have a science question that needs precise space-based photometry? Explore the possibilities with CHEOPS!

1/ A rare star system with 6 #exoplanets has been unlocked with the help of our @ESA_Cheops mission

A special discovery because the planets’ orbital configuration shows that the system is largely unchanged since formation more than a billion years ago
