Results from the first spectropolarimetric survey of Dor pulsators
J. Labadie-Bartz, R. Ouazzani, C. Neiner +8
Context. Magnetic fields can have an important influence on stellar structure and evolution. In intermediate-mass (A- and F-type) stars, there are many known stars with directly me…
Wildly Oscillating Stars -- Unexplained dense ridge-like frequency agglomerations in A and F type pulsators
V. Antoci, J. Labadie-Bartz, M. Swiech +14
We investigate the origin of the dense, ridge-like frequency clusters observed in a subset of A and F type pulsating stars, which we refer to as `wildly oscillating' stars (WOS). T…
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…
A few ideas to promote inclusion
Thibaut Paumard, Aurélie Guilbert-Lepoutre, Maïca Clavel +5
Promoting diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) is both a legal and professional responsibility in French research institutions. This paper presents practical strat…
Discovery of new magnetic δ Scuti stars and impact of magnetism on pulsation excitation
K. Thomson-Paressant, C. Neiner, J. Labadie-Bartz +3
Context. At this time, the list of known magnetic δ Scuti stars is extremely limited, with only a handful of well-studied examples. Aims. We seek to expand this list, by retrievin…
