  • Title of programme: Axis 2 - A Deep search for hot JupIter VAriability (DIVA)
  • Abstract: The temporal stability of hot Jupiter atmospheres remains an open question. While there are several tentative detections of changes in the observed planetary occultation depths, phase curve shapes, or transmission spectra, no indisputable evidence exists to date. This program will perform a deep search for variability in the dayside brightness of several hot Jupiters. A detection of clear variability and the measurement of its timescale would open the door to a suite of follow-up studies involving the dynamical behaviour of exoplanet atmospheres.

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.
