  • Title of programme: FEATURE.CHAR - Tidal decay
  • Abstract: Science objectives: Show evidence of the tiday orbital decay of an exoplanet. This is of importance to characterise the inner structure of the stars. It will also improve our unederstanding of the long term fate of planets very close to their stars. Targets: Orbits of periods < 1 day are preferred.The shorter the period, the better. For tidal decay, low mass stars are best candidates. Candidates adequate for tidal feformation will net be selected here.

Mission Description CHEOPS (Benz et al., https://doi.org/10.1007/s10686-020-09679-4) is a European Space Agency (ESA) mission in partnership with Switzerland with important contributions to the payload and the ground segment from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

The satellite has a single payload comprising an ultra-high precision photometer covering the 330 - 1100 nm wavelength range in a single photometric band. Observations are made as part of the Guaranteed Time Observing Programme that is formulated by the CHEOPS Science Team, and the Guest Observers Programme through which the Community at large can apply for CHEOPS time.
