1 LVII Congresso SAIt Bologna, 7-10 maggio 2013 CHEOPS stato, problemi, opportunità Isabella Pagano on behalf of the CHEOPS Italian Team ESA s first small mission

2 ESA small missions requirements! Science! top rated science in any area of space science! Cost! total cost < 150 M! cost to ESA: not to exceed 50 M! Schedule! developed and launched within 4 years (end of 2017)! call issued! March 3, 2012! proposal due! June 15, 2012! mission selection! October 19, 2012! mission adoption! Feb 2014! launch! 2017!

3 Name! Primary science goal! Targets! Mission summary! CHEOPS! (CHaracterizing ExOPlanet Satellite)! Measure the radius of planets transiting bright stars to 10% accuracy! Known exoplanet host stars with a V-magnitude < 12.5 anywhere on the sky! Wavelength! Visible range : 400 to 1100 nm! Telescope! 707 cm 2 effective aperture reflective on-axis telescope (30 cm )! Orbit! LEO sun-synchronous, LTAN 6am, km! Lifetime! Type! 3.5 years! S-class!

4 Targets: Bright stars apparent magnitude of star Kepler planets NGTS CHEOPS mass measured by radial velocities ~50 CHEOPS targets ~ CHEOPS targets Radius planet (REarth)

5 CHEOPS SCIENCE OBJECTIVES!

6 Science objectives! 1. Mass-radius relation for planets below the mass of Saturn!

7 Size & mass distributions of planets orbiting G- and K- type stars. corrected for survey incompleteness for small/low-mass planets Howard, 2013, Science 340, 572

8 CHEOPS provides direct insights into the structure (e.g. presence of a gaseous envelope) and/or composition of the planet. CHEOPS will improve both the sample size as well as the precision of the measurements.

9 RV planets known mass Science objectives! 2. New targets for future characterization facilities with spectroscopic capabilities! Transiting planets known size Juicy targets for JWST and EChO! Identification of planets with atmospheres in the 1 10 MEarth regime

10 Science objectives! 3. Constraints on planet migration paths gas fraction different histories R M

11 a single planet is allowed to grow in a disc Colours code different fraction of icy planetesimals in the planetary cores. 10 planets are allowed to grow simultaneously For planets in the super-earth to Neptune mass range, the difference in ice content between the two models translates into a difference of ~30% in mean radius. Different migration pattern can be inferred by density measurements.

12 Science objectives! 4. Energy transport in hot Jupiter atmospheres Optical phase curve of a V=10.5 mag star by Kepler HAT-P-7b Combination of the light reflected by the atmosphere of the planet as well as the thermal emission of the atmosphere. Borucki et al. (2009)

13 CHEOPS SCIENCE REQUIREMENTS!

14 High-level Sci Req.: Photometric accuracy for transit detection! Targets from RV campaigns

15 High-level Sci Req.: Photometric accuracy for transit characterization! Targets from ground based transits search e.g., NGTS

16 CHEOPS Sky visibility! Total observation time over 1 year [hours] Orbits with more than 50% interruption (less than 50 min of possible observations), due to Earth and Earth stray light constraints, have been discarded. 700 Km altitude orbit The circles are known radial velocity targets, the diamonds are simulated NGTS targets.
