TOI-4311 hosts a 0.99-day super-Earth (1.38 R_earth, 4.5 M_earth) and 15-day sub-Neptune (2.47 R_earth), plus a candidate 38-day planet, with the dense inner planet potentially challenging formation theories given the host's galactic population.
CHEOPS photometry improves radii for V1298 Tau b, c, and d, producing revised densities of 0.06-0.23 g cm^{-3} that indicate differential atmospheric evolution and no requirement for past dynamical excitation.

CHEOPS observations of V1298 Tau: updated planetary densities and implications on the early evolution of the young system
CHEOPS photometry improves radii for V1298 Tau b, c, and d, producing revised densities of 0.06-0.23 g cm^{-3} that indicate differential atmospheric evolution and no requirement for past dynamical excitation.
