  • Title of programme: ATMOS.CHAR - Is there variable dayside emission from MASCARA-1b?
  • Abstract: This program targets the ultra-hot Jupiter MASCARA-1b, for which previous observations have tentatively detected variable emission from the planetary day side. Several more occultations of MASCARA-1b will be observed with an extended pre-and post-occultation coverage to increase measurement robustness against instrumental effects. Confirming the detection of a variable occultation would be a result with major scientific impact: it would signify either a change in the planetary emission (i.e. a temperature variation), or varying scattering properties (i.e. variable aerosol content).

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.
