Scientific paper

The transiting nature of 55 Cnc e has been recently unveiled independently by the MOST satellite in the visible (Winn et al. 2011) and Warm Spitzer in the infrared (Demory et al. 2011).
55 Cnc e is the only transiting super-Earth orbiting a naked eye star, which makes this planet a true Rosetta stone in the field of low-mass exoplanets.
We will present new follow-up observations scheduled during Summer 2011 that will provide better constraints on the internal structure and immediate environment of this intriguing super-Earth.
