Gaia both finds exoplanets and characterises host starsĢ5 September 2019 Nic Walton - WEAVE PIC - Padova 2 PLATO (ESA M3).And it helps to know your target stars before you observe them.Finding and characterising extra solar planets requires a detailed knowledge of the host stars.PLATO begins its exoplanet hunt in 2026.Next major Gaia release (E)DR3 Q3/2020 and H2/2021.The first all sky astrometric catalogues (Gaia DR2) April 2018.Gaia released its first all sky data (Gaia DR1) Sep 2016.Gavin Dalton (University of Oxford) / Scott Trager (University of Groningen) WEAVE – Gaia – PLATO characterising exo-planets systems Nicholas Walton Institute of Astronomy University of Cambridge Gaia, PLATO and WEAVE: Astrometry, Photometry and Spectroscopy for Exoplanet Characterisation
