Radiation effects on space-based stellar photometry: theoretical models and empirical results for CoRoT Space Telescope

Auvergne, M.; Rolland, G.; Pinheiro da Silva, L. +1 more

Convection, Rotation and planetary Transits (CoRoT) is a space mission dedicated to stellar seismology and the search for extrasolar planets. Both scientific programs are based on very high precision photometry and require long, uninterrupted observations. The instrument is based on an afocal telescope and a wide-field camera, consisting of four E…
