The HD108236 system was first announced with the detection of four small planets based on TESS data. Shortly after, transit an additional planet a period 29.54d serendipitously detected by CHEOPS. In this way, (V=9.2) became one brightest stars known to host five transiting (R$_p$<3R$_{\oplus}$). We characterize planetary using all data available from CHEOPS and space missions. use flexible poi...

A large sample of long-period giant planets has been discovered thanks to long-term radial velocity surveys, but only a few dozen these have precise radius measurement. Transiting gas giants are crucial targets for the study atmospheric composition across wide range equilibrium temperatures and shedding light on formation evolution planetary systems. Indeed, compared hot Jupiters, properties or...

INTRODUCTION Painful medical procedures are the major sources of distress among children; and for those with chronic diseases, the procedure-related pain can be worse than that of the illness itself. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of local refrigeration prior to venipuncture on pain-related responses in school-age children. DESIGN Quasi-experimental study. ...

Gas giants orbiting close to hot and massive early-type stars can reach dayside temperatures that are comparable those of the coldest stars. These "ultra-hot Jupiters" have atmospheres made ions atomic species from molecular dissociation feature strong day-to-night temperature gradients. Photometric observations at different orbital phases provide insights on planet atmospheric properties. We a...

We report the discovery and characterisation of a pair sub-Neptunes transiting bright K-dwarf TOI-1064 (TIC 79748331), initially detected in TESS photometry. To characterise system, we performed retrieved CHEOPS, TESS, ground-based photometry, HARPS high-resolution spectroscopy, Gemini speckle imaging. host star determine $T_{\rm eff, \star}=4734\pm67$ K, $R_{\star}=0.726\pm0.007$ $R_{\odot}$, ...

ABSTRACT HIP 9618 (HD 12572, TOI-1471, TIC 306263608) is a bright (G = 9.0 mag) solar analogue. TESS photometry revealed the star to have two candidate planets with radii of 3.9 ± 0.044 R⊕ (HIP b) and 3.343 0.039 c). While 20.77291 d period b was measured unambiguously, c showed only transits separated by 680-d gap in time series, leaving many possibilities for period. To solve this issue, CHEO...

We present the discovery of two small planets transiting HD 93963A (TOI-1797), a G0\,V star (M$_*$=1.109\,$\pm$\,0.043\,M$_\odot$, R$_*$=1.043\,$\pm$\,0.009\,R$_\odot$) in visual binary system. combined TESS and CHEOPS space-borne photometry with data from MuSCAT 2, `Alopeke, PHARO, TRES, FIES, SOPHIE. validated spectroscopically confirmed outer planet 93963 Ac, sub-Neptune an orbital period P$...
