  • Title of programme: ATMOS.CHAR - 55 Cancri e
  • Abstract: The aim of this programme is to obtain orbital phase-curves of 55 Cnc e. These observations contribute to obtain longitudinal maps of this super-Earth to constrain its 1D geometric albedo distribution. Such observations provide insights into the climate patterns of exoplanets and in the JWST era, CHEOPS is the only high-precision photometry facility able to achieve quasi-continuous, staring phase-curve observations at visible wavelengths.

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.
