Volcanic Satellites and Ion Escape in the Magnetospheres of Ultra-Cool and Brown Dwarf Stars
A. F. Lanza, A. V. Oza
Radio emissions at GHz frequencies of ultra-cool dwarf and brown dwarf stars suggest the presence of radiation belts not unlike Jupiter's. We investigate the possibility the…
Hidden worlds: a non-transiting candidate planet in the Neptunian desert around the solar-type pulsator KIC 9139163
Sylvain N. Breton, Achrène Dyrek, Carlos Allende Prieto +16
Close-in substellar companions experience strong tidal and magnetic interactions with their host stars and are therefore subject to fast orbital evolution. The solar-type pulsator…
Magnetic geometry of M dwarfs in the southern PLATO field
M. Diez, P. I. Cristofari, J. Morin +9
M dwarfs are the most abundant stars in the Galaxy and exhibit diverse magnetic behaviours. Understanding their large-scale magnetic fields is essential to study stellar dynamos an…
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…
