Spectroscopic and Photometric Survey of Northern Sky for the ESA PLATO space mission
Abstract
The ESA-PLATO 2.0 mission will perform an in-depth analysis of the large part of the sky-sphere searching for extraterrestrial telluric-like planets. At the Molėtai Astronomical Observatory of Vilnius University, we started a spectroscopic and photometric survey of the northern sky fields that potentially will be targeted by the PLATO mission. We aim to contribute in developing the PLATO input catalogue by delivering a long-duration stellar variability information and a full spectroscopic characterization of brightest targets. First results of this survey are overviewed.
