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…
Imaging magnetically driven astrospheres: a forward modelling approach
Ziqi Wu, Tom Van Doorsselaere, Jiansen He +5
An astrosphere is a vast, tailed bubble-like volume around a star, formed through the interaction between the stellar magnetic field, the stellar wind, and the interstellar medium…
Plato's view on supermassive black hole binaries: Exploring the faint limit of ESA's Plato space mission
Nicholas Jannsen, Pablo Huijse, Kevin Park +3
The search for supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) has, in recent years, seen the dawn of exploration with several hundred candidates claimed from photometric and spectroscop…
Variability classification of TESS targets in LOPS2, the first long-term pointing field of PLATO. Version 1 of the public variability catalogue
Mykyta Kliapets, Pablo Huijse, Jeroen Audenaert +28
The PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) mission is expected to launch in January 2027. A total of 8\% of its data rate will be dedicated to complementary science t…
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…
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…
