PLATO will provide high-precision, long-term photometric and asteroseismic data of a&nbsp;large number of stars to detect and characterize extrasolar planets, including terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars. PLATO will characterize planets in its core sample (V&lt;11) for their radius via the transit method and determine their masses via ground-based radial-velocity follow-up. Asteroseismology will provide precise ages of planet host stars. A&nbsp;large sample of stars with V&lt;13 will provide statistical information on detected exoplanets of all kinds. The PLATO data base of characterized planets will form a&nbsp;solid basis to put the Solar System into a&nbsp;wider context and allow for comparative exo-planetology. In addition, the precise stellar parameters obtained by asteroseismic studies will open new doors to better understand stellar interiors and allow us to constrain poorly-understood physical processes, like convection, improve our understanding of stellar evolution, and determine precise ages of stars and planetary systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PLATO instrument consists of 24 cameras on a&nbsp;common optical bench&nbsp;with a&nbsp;total field-of-view (FoV) of about 2150 deg<sup>2<\/sup>, operating in white light. Two additional cameras serve as fine-guidance sensors and observe very bright stars (V&lt;8.5) in red and blue light, respectively. A&nbsp;guest observer program open to the community upon an ESA call will allow observing additional targets in the PLATO FoV.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Odkaz na v\u011bdeckou konferenci, kter\u00e1 se konala 27. \u2013 30. 3. 2023 v&nbsp;Praze \u2013&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/stel.asu.cas.cz\/platoweek\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/stel.asu.cas.cz\/platoweek\/<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PLATO Mission:&nbsp;Finding the habitable planets in the local Universe PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA\u2019s M3 mission, scheduled for launch end<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3487,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42,40,35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-department","category-exoplanet","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stel.asu.cas.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stel.asu.cas.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stel.asu.cas.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stel.asu.cas.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stel.asu.cas.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3486"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/stel.asu.cas.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3503,"href":"https:\/\/stel.asu.cas.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3486\/revisions\/3503"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stel.asu.cas.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stel.asu.cas.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stel.asu.cas.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stel.asu.cas.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
