CHEOPS

CHEOPS (CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite) est une mission conjointe de l'ESA et de la Suisse visant à mesurer précisément la taille d'exoplanètes connues. Imaginez le système solaire où CHEOPS observerait de loin des planètes passer comme de petites billes devant une lampe, "marquant" momentanément sa luminosité. Ce petit télescope de 32 cm utilise la méthode du transit : il mesure la minuscule baisse de lumière d'une étoile lorsqu'une planète passe devant. Cela permet de déterminer le rayon de la planète avec une précision extrême. Au cours de sa mission de 3,5 ans, il aide à révéler si ces mondes lointains sont denses et rocheux comme la Terre ou gazeux comme Jupiter.

The exoplanet TOI-2211 b is a super-Earth located on a close orbit around an orange dwarf star, completing one revolution every 3.09 days. Because it is positioned so close to its host star, it is subjected to intense radiation that often strips away light primordial atmospheres made of hydrogen and helium. The current analysis indicates that the mass and radius of the planet are not consistent with a simple bare rocky interior, nor with an atmosphere dominated by hydrogen. Instead, it is likely...
