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 multi-planet system TOI-5624: Four transiting sub-Neptunes with an outer companion revealed by transit-timing variations
A. Bonfanti, D. Gandolfi, P. Leonardi +96
Following the 2022 alert of a TESS object of interest transiting TOI-5624 (a G7 V star 100 pc away), a CHEOPS campaign in 2023 detected four planetary signals at $P_b\approx3…
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…
Giant Outer Transiting Exoplanet Mass (GOTEM) Survey.VII. TOI-6041: a multi-planet system including a warm Neptune exhibiting strong TTVs
N. Heidari, A. Alnajjarine, H. P. Osborn +101
We present the characterization of the TOI-6041 system, a bright () G7-type star hosting at least two planets. The inner planet, TOI-6041b, is a warm Neptune wit…
Eclipse Mapping with Ariel: Future Prospects for a Population-Level Mapping Survey
Daniel Valentine, Hannah R. Wakeford, Mark Hammond +4
Eclipse mapping is a powerful tool for measuring 3D profiles of exoplanet atmospheres. To date, only JWST has been capable of widely applying this technique, but as a general obser…
ExoClock Project IV: A homogeneous catalogue of 620 updated exoplanet ephemerides
A. Kokori, A. Tsiaras, G. Pantelidou +323
The ExoClock project is an open platform aiming to monitor exoplanets by integrating observations from space and ground based telescopes. This study presents an updated catalogue o…
