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…
Core-envelope coupling of gravito-inertial waves in pre-main-sequence solar-type stars
Sylvain N. Breton, Camilla Pezzotti, Stéphane Mathis +5
After the recent detection of solar equatorial Rossby waves, a renewed interest has been brought to the study of gravito-inertial waves propagating in the convective envelope of so…
Solar-like oscillations in accreting pre-main sequence stars: Insights and prospects
Johannes Jørgensen, Konstanze Zwintz, Ebraheem Farag +2
We present theoretical predictions for solar-like oscillators in the pre-main sequence phase of stellar evolution. Our pre-main sequence models start from a stellar seed of 0.01 so…
