Following up the Kepler field with PLATO: Transit Timing Performance
Morgan A. Mitchell, James McCormac, Don Pollacco +11
The European Space Agency is set to launch PLATO, the third medium-class mission of its Cosmic Vision programme, in early 2027. Using the transit method, PLATO is expected to detec…
TIC-65910228 b / NGTS-38 b, a 180 day transiting warm super-Jupiter
Toby Rodel, Solène Ulmer-Moll, Samuel Gill +63
We present the discovery of TIC-65910228 b / NGTS-38 b, a giant exoplanet with a radius of R and a mass of M on a long-…
The Neptunian ridge planet WASP-156 b does not have a polar orbit
M. Lafarga, J. I. Espinoza-Retamal, H. M. Cegla +25
The population of short-period exo-Neptunes is thought to be shaped by an interplay between different dynamical mechanisms, such as orbital migration and tidal effects, and photoev…
The puzzling story of flare inactive ultra fast rotating M dwarfs -- III. Investigating X-ray Activity
Lauren Doyle, George W. King, Gavin Ramsay +4
According to activity-rotation relations, rapid rotators are expected to show high levels of magnetic activity. However, recent studies with TESS have found Ultra Fast Rotating (UF…
Assessment of PLATO Science Performance
Juan Cabrera, Heike Rauer, Reza Samadi +121
The PLATO mission is scheduled for launch early 2027. In this paper we present an overview of the performance drivers for the mission at the time where all flight models of the cam…
Demographics of Close-In TESS Exoplanets Orbiting FGK Main-sequence Stars
Kaiming Cui, David J. Armstrong, Andreas Hadjigeorghiou +5
Understanding the demographics of close-in planets is crucial for insights into exoplanet formation and evolution. We present a detailed analysis of occurrence rates for close-in (…
