Abstract
In 2018 and 2022, we have published an analysis about the observability of temperate planets (with an equilibrium temperature of about 350-500 K) with Ariel. This presentation is an update of this analysis which aims at using new targets identified in particular from the TESS database and analysing their observability with Ariel. Using the parameters of these new targets, we give an estimate of the number of transits needed for these objects to be observed in the Tier 2 mode of the space mission, and we define the information which could be derived about their atmospheric composition. We have identified about 15 targets which could be observable with ARIEL in the Tier 2 mode, which allows an identification of the main atmospheric absorbers. This list includes a gas giant, a few big Neptunes and several super-Earths/small Neptunes. This study is a follow-up of Encrenaz et al., Exp. Astr. 46, 31 (2018) and Exp. Astr. 53, 375 (2022).
