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]

Apply for time to the CHEOPS Running Call ! Only this month (October) and in April you will be able to apply for Large proposals of up to 500 CHEOPS orbits (800 hours)! Monthly you can apply for regular proposals of up to 120 CHEOPS orbits and for our HST/JWST Fast Track!

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
