The ARIEL space mission promises to provide the astronomical community with a large uniform sample of exoplanet transmission spectra covering the near- and mid-infrared wavelength range of 1.1 to 7.8 micrometers. In addition to its three spectroscopic channels, ARIEL has three photometric channels that will measure the optical and near-IR flux from the host star with the aim to monitor the...

Arrakihs is an ESA fast-class mission aimed at probing dark matter and the formation of Milky Way-type galaxies through ultra-deep imaging of faint stellar halos. By providing statistics on tidal streams, diffuse halos, and satellite populations, the mission will test the ΛCDM framework. This work presents the preliminary validation results of the NIR channel using a 1.8 µm cut-off H2RG...
