Bibiana PrinothThey observed WASP-12 b 45 times with <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/CHEOPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CHEOPS</a> and used <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/TESS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TESS</a> and <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Spitzer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spitzer</a> data to study the phase curve including tidal deformation. Why is tidal deformation important? If you don’t account for the shape, you’ll overestimate the density of your planet. The phase curves allow to calculate the Love number which should tell us about the core mass fraction. Sadly not very well constrained, so we need <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/JWST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JWST</a> for that instead. They’ll be doing that for WASP-103 b. <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/ExSSV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExSSV</a>

Bibiana PrinothWe continue with David Ehrenreich on the v² Lupi system: a tale of three sub-Neptunian worlds in the evaporation valley. Close-in sub-Neptune planets experience mass loss, also young ones and it could be the reason for the observed radius value. So there is a high interest in studying cooler longer period sub-Neptunes.This leads to the synergy of CHEOPS and TESS 🙌🏻 <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/TESS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TESS</a> finds, <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/CHEOPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CHEOPS</a> follows up. <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/ExSSV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExSSV</a>

The European NetworkA European spacecraft has revealed the secrets of a star system that has puzzled researchers for years.The rare six sextuplet of planets was found thanks to data collected by Cheops — the CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite.Cheops is a European Space Agency (ESA) mission to study known exoplanets, which are any planets beyond our solar system. Its latest discovery emerged from confusion surrounding a star called HD110067.<a href="https://thenextweb.com/news/esa-cheops-spacecraft-discovers-star-system" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thenextweb.com/news/esa-cheops-spacecraft-discovers-star-system</a><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ESA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ESA</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Space</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Planet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Planet</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Satellite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Satellite</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CHEOPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CHEOPS</a>

Mikko TuomiData from the exoplanet mission <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Cheops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cheops</a> has led to the surprising revelation that an ultra-hot <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/exoplanet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exoplanet</a> that orbits its host star in less than a day is covered by reflective clouds of metal, making it the shiniest exoplanet ever found.LTT9779 b’s high albedo came as a surprise because the planet’s side facing its star is estimated to be around 2000 °C.No other <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/planets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#planets</a> of this size and mass have been found to orbit so close to their <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/star" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#star</a>.<a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/exoplanets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exoplanets</a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Cheops/Cheops_shows_scorching_exoplanet_acts_like_a_mirror" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Cheops/Cheops_shows_scorching_exoplanet_acts_like_a_mirror</a>
