The asteroseismic potential of CHEOPS

Understand

Asteroseismology has been impressively boosted during the last decade mainly thanks to space missions such as Kepler/K2 and CoRoT.

• This has a large impact, in particular, in exoplanetary sciences since the accurate characterization of the exoplanets is convoluted in most cases with the characterization of their hosting star.
• Until the expected launch of the ESA mission PLATO 2.0, there is almost a decade where only two important missions will provide short-cadence high-precision photometric time-series: NASA--TESS and ESA--CHEOPS missions, both having high capabilities for exoplanetary sciences.
• In this work, we want to explore the asteroseismic potential of CHEOPS time-series.
