Science Objectives
The evolution of planets and that of their stars are intimately linked.
A complete and precise characterization of host stars is necessary to: Measure exoplanet properties: mass, radius, age Compare planetary systems of various ages Observe exoplanets at different stages of dynamical
evolution and at different stages of physical and chemical evolution
Correlation of planet evolution with that of their hosts stars
Roma, Jan 29, 2009 G. Piotto
The evolution of exoplanetary systems = comparative exoplanetology
Mission Objectives
The Search for, and characterization of, exoplanets and their host stars
Logical step forward after CoRoT and Kepler (and TESS?)
Search for exoplanetary transits and asteroseismology for the same star samples

Evolution of Scientific Requirements
high level science requirements redefined by PSST and PSC
- P1: > 20,000 bright (~ mV≤11) cool dwarfs (>F5V); noise < 27 ppm in 1hr
- P2: > 80,000 bright cool dwarfs; noise < 80 ppm in 1hr during long pointing
but < 27 ppm in 1 hr during step & stare phase
- P3: ~ 1000 very bright stars (4 ≤mV≤ 8) for 3 years
- P4: ~ 3000 very bright stars (4 ≤mV≤ 8) for > 5 months
- P5: > 250,000 cool dwarfs; noise < 80 ppm in 1 hr for 3 years

Performance of baseline design
Simulations
Main goal for the Assessment phase is to test the PLATO photometric performances
Should be a tool for an independent test of the PLATO onboard and GB software
It is a tool for both the PPLC and the PSC

Simulations start-up
We started from the Eddington Simulation Tool (Torben Arentoft)
We used PSFs from the TG (D. Magrin) We simulated 2 512x512pxs sets of
images at center of the field, with a 12.5 and a 15 arcsec/pixel PSFs
2 fields: a “crowded” Carina field, and “less crowded” field
CCD noise and Jitter from Eddington Unweighted mask aperture photometry
