ESCAPE: a small explorer mission to study the stellar drivers of exoplanet evolution
Allison Youngblood, Kevin France, Brian Fleming +37
The long-term stability of exoplanetary atmospheres depends critically on the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) photon and high-energy particle fluxes from the host star, which are poorly…
HRMOS: A High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph for the VLT
Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Sofia Randich +174
This White Paper presents the scientific rationale and instrument concept for HRMOS (High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph), a next-generation instrument proposed for the ESO V…
Continuous Wide-Field Optical Monitoring for Very Early-Phase Transient Discovery
Massimo Della Valle, Maria Teresa Botticella, Enrico Cappellaro +40
The study of transient phenomena in a multimessenger context is expected to remain a major pillar of astrophysical discovery in the decades ahead. Supernovae, Kilonovae, Black-Hole…
True spin-orbit obliquities distribution: data-driven confirmation of no clustering of misaligned planets
Alessandro Matteo Rossi, Monica Rainer, Francesco Borsa +1
Context. True spin-orbit obliquities Ψ offer valuable insights into the evolutionary history of exoplanetary systems. Previous studies have suggested that exoplanets tend to occupy…
Searching for Exoplanets Born Outside the Milky Way: VOYAGERS Survey Design
Robert Aloisi, Andrew Vanderburg, Melinda Soares-Furtado +44
Observations over the past few decades have found that planets are common around nearby stars in our Galaxy, but little is known about planets that formed outside the Milky Way. We…
Probing the geological setting of exoplanets through atmospheric analysis: using Mars as a test case
Monica Rainer, Evandro Balbi, Francesco Borsa +3
One of the frontier research fields of exoplanetary science is the study of the composition and variability of exoplanetary atmospheres. This field is now moving from the gas giant…
The PLATO Mission
Heike Rauer, Conny Aerts, Juan Cabrera +842
PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large numb…
Atmospheric Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and transmission spectroscopy of WASP-121b with ESPRESSO
F. Borsa, R. Allart, N. Casasayas-Barris +41
WASP-121b is one of the most studied Ultra-hot Jupiters: many recent analyses of its atmosphere report interesting features at different wavelength ranges. In this paper we analyze…
The PLATO 2.0 Mission
H. Rauer, C. Catala, C. Aerts +159
PLATO 2.0 has recently been selected for ESA's M3 launch opportunity (2022/24). Providing accurate key planet parameters (radius, mass, density and age) in statistical numbers, it…
