  • Title of programme: Confirmation of four planet candidates around an extremely young star
  • Abstract: We request 64 orbits of CHEOPS observations to confirm and characterize the planetary system orbiting the star TOI-6109, a young, approximately 80Myr-old Sun-like star in the Alpha Persei cluster. It hosts at least 4 transiting planet candidates, all about the size of Neptune orbiting within 16 day orbital periods. The planets orbit near mean motion resonances, so transit timing variations should reveal their masses. The systems youth and near-resonant configuration present a unique opportunity to test theoretical models of atmospheric mass loss.

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.
