CHEOPS Science Workshop #3, June 17-19, 2015. Madrid, SPAIN
The CHEOPS Science Workshop #3 has brought together a large community of researchers interested in the preparation and exploitation of the CHEOPS mission. The meeting was open to anyone. CHEOPS will be the first mission dedicated to search for transits by means of ultrahigh precision photometry on bright stars already known to host planets. The launch is planned in late 2017. Participants presented contributed talks on all scientific aspects relevant for CHEOPS including synergies with other facilities. The workshop was held in central Madrid, Spain, in June 17-19, 2015, very close to cultural heart of the city, at the headquarters of the Spanish Centre for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI). The program included invited talks and oral contributions. The pdf files with the presnetations are included. The meeting was organized by the Center of Astrobiology (CAB, INTA-CSIC), in collaboration with the CDTI, the IAC (Tenerife) and the IEEC (Barcelona). SOC: D. Queloz (chair); D. Ehrenreich; D. Barrado on behalf of the CHEOPS Sciente Team LOC: D. Barrado (chair), J. Lillo-Box, M. Morales, E. Pallé, I. Ribas, R. Alonso, N. Huélamo, H. Bouy, F. Galindo.
