The PLATO Science Calibration and Validation Plan: Targets for the First Long-pointing Field
Konstanze Zwintz, Conny Aerts, Andrew Tkachenko +56
In order to meet the science goals of the PLATO space mission, an extensive science calibration and validation plan has been designed. This paper describes this plan, as well as th…
PLATO input catalogs for technical calibration and fine guidance
René Heller, Chen Jiang, Paz Bluhm +18
A few weeks after launch, the PLATO spacecraft is expected to start its payload commissioning, which will be completed within the first three months of the mission. This phase incl…
The central engine of low-luminosity radio galaxy 3C 270 (NGC 4261)
Chengzhang Jiang, Robert Antonucci, Jose A. Acosta-Pulido +1
We present the polarization spectra of the nucleus of 3C~270. We confirm that the polarization angle of both the continuum and the emission lines are close to perpendicular to the…
A close-in giant planet escapes engulfment by its star
Marc Hon, Daniel Huber, Nicholas Z. Rui +39
When main-sequence stars expand into red giants, they are expected to engulf close-in planets. Until now, the absence of planets with short orbital periods around post-expansion, c…
Asteroseismic investigation on KIC 10526294 to probe convective core overshoot mixing
Qian-Sheng Zhang, Li Yan, Wu Tao +1
In the overshoot mixing model with an exponentially decreasing diffusion coefficient, the initial value of the diffusion coefficient plays a crucial role. According to the turbulen…
Revisiting the Red-giant Branch Hosts KOI-3886 and Draconis. Detailed Asteroseismic Modeling and Consolidated Stellar Parameters
Tiago L. Campante, Tanda Li, J. M. Joel Ong +23
Asteroseismology is playing an increasingly important role in the characterization of red-giant host stars and their planetary systems. Here, we conduct detailed asteroseismic mode…
