  • Target Dec (J2000): 29.67230 °
  • Gaia GMag: 11.5

  • Programme ID: CH_PR100013

  • Title of programme: FEATURE.CHAR:Tidal_Decay&Deformation
  • Abstract: Show evidence of the tidal orbital decay of an exoplanet. This is of importance to characterise the inner structure of the stars. It will also improve our understanding of the long term fate of planets very close to their stars. The second, and very challenging objective is to detect the deformation of a planet due to its tidal interaction with the star. This will constraint the rheology of the planets. This request very high (10^-4) resolution of the transit curve, and to be able to discriminate with other effects.

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.
