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…
ASTRAFier: A Novel and Scalable Transformer-based Stellar Variability Classifier
Paul F. X. Gregory, Jeroen Audenaert, Mykyta Kliapets +5
Photometric missions such as Kepler and TESS have generated millions of light curves covering almost the entire sky, offering unprecedented opportunities to study stellar variabili…
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…
Populations of tidal and pulsating variables in eclipsing binaries
Alex Kemp, Jasmine Vrancken, Joey S. G. Mombarg +4
In this work, we seek to characterise a large sample of 14377 main sequence eclipsing binaries in terms of their stellar, asteroseismic, and orbital properties. We conduct manual v…
Automated all-sky detection of γ Doradus / δ Scuti hybrids in TESS data from positive unlabelled (PU) learning
Mykyta Kliapets, Pablo Huijse, Andrew Tkachenko +4
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission has observed hundreds of millions of stars, substantially contributing to the available pool of high-precision photometric…
