CHEOPS Science Workshop VI
Goal of the meeting
The CHEOPS workshop VI will be held from 11 to 13 January 2022, 20 months after the beginning of CHEOPS science operations. The workshop will be the occasion for the planetary science community at large to discuss and share the first main results of CHEOPS in different fields, from the planetary internal structure to atmospheric characterization, etc. Participants are invited to propose contributed talks and posters on all scientific aspects linked to CHEOPS, including CHEOPS based-results as well as proposals for future observations and synergies with other facilities, as for example:
- mission update and performances
- finding transits of already known planets
- mass-radius relation and planetary internal structure
- TTV
- tidal deformation
- moons and rings
- tidal decay
- phase curves
- planet heat redistribution
- cloud properties
- albedo
