PLATO will achieve its science objectives by performing: Planet detection and radius determination from photometric transits; Determination of planet masses…
The PLATO Way
The transit method
PLATO will detect and characterise exoplanets with the transit method. It will perform long uninterrupted high precision photometric monitoring…
The radial velocity method
Ground-based radial velocity measurements of candidate planets detected by PLATO will be carried out to confirm or reject the planet…
