EXOPLANETARY SYSTEMS IN THE PLATO ERA
PLATO is the ESA M3 mission which is due to be launched in 2025. Its main objective is the detection and characterisation of habitable zone planets around sun like stars. This will be achieved through the detection of transits around host stars that are bright enough for detailed radial velocity investigation. In particular, we expect many PLATO host stars to be characterised through asteroseismology.
At this conference we will examine the entire range of science enabled by PLATO. We will present the state of the art in exoplanet and asteroseismology science, and other research areas where we expect PLATO to make a major scientific impact. In particular we hope to foster a closer relationship between solar system and exoplanetary astronomers.
