HAYDN PLATO'S Little Bro

HAYDN LOGO

Andy (formally Andrés Moya Bedón) which is PI-Invest Disting d'Excellencia Comunidad Valenciana proposed a future application of the PLATO development at the Technical Session on the RIA-Tec2Space 19-22 April 2022.

HAYDN benefits from the heritage of PLATO, but it is designed for the observation of dense stellar fields (HAYDN FoV 1.3 vs PLATO FoV 3.7).

 

Fotografiar Exoplanetas

Desde el canal Quantum Fracture (José Luis Crespo), esta creando en su canal de Youtube un episodio especial sobre Exoplanetas.

En este episodio, cuantan con la colaboracion de 

Enric Pallé Bagó y Hector Socas-Navarro del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias

y nos describen los aspectos clave de la caza de exoplanetas desde tierra.

A planet pass over an star to demostrate transit method

The measurement principle of PLATO is to carry out high precision, long (months to years), uninterrupted photometric monitoring in the visible band of very large samples of bright (mV ≤ 11–13) stars. The resulting light curves will be used for the detection of planetary transits, from which the planetary radii will be determined, and for the asteroseismology analysis to derive accurate stellar parameters and ages. Since the PLATO targets are bright, the masses of the detected planets can be determined from radial velocity observations at ground-based observatories.
