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 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…
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…
X-ray stellar feedback in low-metallicity starbursts: Insights from the template starburst galaxy ESO 338-IG04 and its halo
M. Chatzis, L. M. Oskinova, S. Reyero Serantes +7
The X-ray output of low-metallicity starburst galaxies is a key component of stellar feedback, tracing the processes responsible for gas ionization and chemical enrichment. The int…
Science Enabled by a 30-Meter-Class Telescope in the Northern Hemisphere: Massive Stars at Low Metallicity
Miriam Garcia, Artemio Herrero, Ignacio Negueruela +11
Massive stars are at the core of our observations of the Universe up to the reionization epoch, both through their intense ionizing fluxes and through the energetic end products th…
Unveiling the origin of the optical and UV emission during the 2017 giant outburst of the Galactic ULX pulsar Swift J0243.6+6124 (Corrigendum)
J. Alfonso-Garzón, J. van den Eijnden, N. P. M. Kuin +8
An error was detected in the code of one of the components considered to model the optical/UV emission of the Galactic ULX pulsar Swift J0243.6+6124 during its 2017 giant outburst.…
