TL;DR
The paper discusses the development of an analysis module for the upcoming PLATO mission, aimed at measuring stellar rotation and activity in a large sample of solar-type and low-mass stars.
Contribution
It introduces the main features of the analysis module designed for the PLATO Stellar Analysis System to measure stellar rotation and activity.
Findings
Preparation for analyzing PLATO data on stellar rotation and activity.
Expected to significantly enhance understanding of stellar magnetic activity.
Provides tools for large-scale stellar characterization.
Abstract
Due to be launched late 2026, the PLATO mission will bring the study of main-sequence solar-type and low-mass stars into a new era. In particular, PLATO will provide the community with a stellar sample with solar-type oscillations and activity-induced brightness modulation of unequalled size. We present here the main features of the analysis module that will be dedicated to measure stellar surface rotation and activity in the PLATO Stellar Analysis System.
