Optimized cutting off transit algorithm to study stellar rotation from PLATO mission light curves

Castro, Matthieu; de Almeida, Leandro; Anthony, Francys +4 more

Measuring the stellar rotation of one of the components in eclipsing binaries (EBs) or planetary systems is a challenge task. The difficulty is mainly due to the complexity of analyzing, in the same light curve, the signal from the stellar rotation mixed with the transit signal of a stellar or substellar companion, like a brown dwarf or planet. Th…
