The PLATO field selection process III. Selection of the Prime Sample for the LOPS2 field
V. Nascimbeni, G. Piotto, V. Granata +30
The PLanetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) mission will begin its four-year nominal mission in early 2027 by monitoring its Long-duration Observation Phase field at S…
The PLATO Input Catalogue of targets (tPIC) for the first Long Pointing Field
M. Montalto, G. Piotto, P. M. Marrese +30
The ESA PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) mission is designed to detect terrestrial planets in the habitable zones of solar-type stars. Owing to telemetry constr…
Selection and characterisation of the M-dwarf targets in the PLATO Input Catalogue
L. Prisinzano, M. Montalto, G. Piotto +33
The ESA's PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of Stars (PLATO) mission aims to detect planets orbiting around dwarfs and subgiant stars with spectral type F5 or later, including M-…
The PLATO field selection process. II. Characterization of LOPS2, the first long-pointing field
V. Nascimbeni, G. Piotto, J. Cabrera +26
PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) is an ESA M-class mission to be launched by the end of 2026 to discover and characterize transiting planets around bright and n…
Glitches in solar-like oscillating F-type stars: Possible contribution of non-linear terms
M. Deal, M. -J. Goupil, J. Philidet +3
The glitch signatures in for F-type stars (higher amplitude and period of the oscillatory component) are very different from those of G-type stars. The aim of this work i…
