Target RA (J2000): 133.149200 and deg Target Dec (J2000): 28.33083 and deg Gaia GMag: 5.714 Programme ID: CH_PR100006 Programme Manager: DEMORY PI of observing programme: Benz Title of programme: ATMOS.CHAR - 55 Cancri e Abstract: The aim of this programme is to obtain orbital phase-curves of 55 Cnc e. These observations contribute to obtain longitudinal maps of this super-Earth to constrain its 1D geometric albedo distribution. Such observations provide insights into the climate patterns of exoplanets and in the JWST era CHEOPS is the only high-precision photometry facility able to achieve quasi-continuous staring phase-curve observations at visible wavelengths.
