PLATO mission - observation targets

Science Eclipsing Binaries
1

Hi,

yesterday I saw the intersting webinar about the upcoming PLATO mission.

I’d like to do some observatiions on binary systems like the ones targeted by PLATO.

I was wondering how to select some of them, there is online some binary systems database where it’s possible to filter on the system characteristics?

Thanks

Hi @Gianlucanigro ,

As Dr. Maxteed mentioned in his webinar, his list of prospective objects has not yet been made public. He will likely release this information in the form of an Observing Campaign when ready.

Kind regards,
Brian
