The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The load-bearing object is the LOPS2 footprint: a $2{,}149$ deg$^2$ region approximated by a spherical circle of radius $28.1^\circ$ intersected with a great-circle 'square,' partitioned into zones observed by 24, 18, 12, or six of PLATO's normal cameras. The selection logic runs through three constraints: the duty-cycle threshold $|\beta|>69.671^\circ$ for the field center, the rotation angle $\varphi=0^\circ$ (with one field side nearly tangent to the galactic plane), and the target-count requirements of the Science Requirements Document. The target counts are produced by the PLATO Input Catalog v2.0.0 together with the PINE noise model, which assigns a noise-to-signal ratio to each star and determines which stars enter the P1, P2, P4, and P5 samples. The spacecraft's quarterly 90-degree rolls keep solar illumination on the panels during the two-year stare, and that mechanism is what ties the geometry to the duty-cycle constraint.
What would settle it
Recompute the P1–P5 counts with the final public PLATO Input Catalog and the actual number of functioning normal cameras after commissioning; if the P1 count falls below 7,500, the paper's compliance claim fails. Alternatively, an in-flight demonstration that the solar panels cannot sustain the duty cycle at ecliptic latitude $-71.12^\circ$ with the planned quarterly rolls would invalidate the choice of LOPS2, independent of any target-count argument.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The central claim is that LOPS2—centered at $\alpha=95.31043^\circ$, $\delta=-47.88693^\circ$ with rotation angle $\varphi=0^\circ$ and ecliptic latitude $\beta=-71.12242^\circ$—was formally approved by the PLATO Science Working Team in June 2023 as the first long-pointing field, and that it meets the SciRD requirements for all four PLATO target samples. The counts, computed from the PLATO Input Catalog v2.0.0 under the conservative end-of-life assumption of 22 surviving normal cameras, are $P1=8{,}235$ (requirement $7{,}500$), $P2=699$ ($500$), $P4=12{,}415$ ($2{,}500$), and $P5=167{,}149$ ($122{,}500$). The shift from the earlier LOPS1 candidate to LOPS2 is justified by a single engineering constraint: LOPS1's $|\beta|\simeq66.30^\circ$ falls below the duty-cycle threshold $|\beta|>69.671^\circ$ required for an observing quarter to start at any time without interruption, while LOPS2 clears it. The paper claims this move costs only about 1% in the prioritization metric and 0.4% in P1 count, leaving the field comfortably within requirements and with a rich astrophysical content for planet and stellar science.
Load-bearing premise
The load-bearing premise is that the spacecraft can actually keep its solar panels adequately illuminated while staring continuously at the LOPS2 patch of sky for two years, using the planned quarterly 90-degree rotations; if that engineering constraint is wrong, the field choice collapses even though the star counts are right.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- If the field choice holds, PLATO's first two years of routine science, starting around mid-2027, will be spent continuously monitoring LOPS2, with quarterly rolls at the end of January, April, July, and October.
- The field supplies 179,564 FGKM stars across the four target samples, from which up to 20,000 will be selected as the prime sample for ground-based follow-up and planetary mass measurement.
- Within its first months of photometry, PLATO will sharpen the ephemerides of known planets in the field, whose median predicted timing drift at epoch 2027.0 is about 7 minutes, and will recover the ten systems currently lost to drift larger than two hours.
- The overlap with other facilities means TESS's southern continuous viewing zone is ~90% covered by LOPS2, JWST's southern continuous viewing zone is fully enclosed, and most of the field is accessible to southern survey telescopes, while CHEOPS reaches only 33% of the footprint under its current sun-exclusion angle.
- For targets with loose ephemerides, the first two or three months of LOPS2 photometry will deliver new accurate transit predictions, enabling follow-up observations that are currently unfeasible.
Reading between the lines
- An extension of the paper's logic is that the same duty-cycle threshold will constrain the northern field LOPN1: if it is ever scheduled, its rotation angle may need adjustment (for instance, to place Deneb in a CCD gap) even though the paper does not state a final choice.
- The released footprint and target tables make LOPS2 a natural testbed for the Guest Observer selection process: any proposed GO target can be checked against the same P1–P5 and facility-overlap metrics, a procedure the paper demonstrates but does not codify.
- The dense overlap with TESS's southern continuous viewing zone implies a testable prediction: PLATO should confirm or reject a large fraction of the 27 multi-candidate TOI systems inside LOPS2 within its first year, independently validating the field's expected planetary yield.
- The paper's compliance argument depends on the 'EOL 22' assumption of 22 functioning normal cameras; if in-orbit losses are larger, the P1 count could approach the 7,500 floor since P1 stars concentrate in the 18- and 24-camera regions.

Referee Report
Summary. This paper presents LOPS2, the southern long-pointing field that the PLATO Science Working Team approved in June 2023 as the first field for at least two continuous years of observation. The work describes the fine-tuning that led from the provisional LOPS1 to LOPS2, reports the field geometry and target counts in the P1, P2, P4, and P5 samples using the PIC v2.0.0 catalog and the PINE noise model, and surveys the astrophysical content of the field: known transiting and non-transiting planetary systems, TESS candidates, nearby stars, star clusters, variable stars, and synergies with TESS, CHEOPS, Ariel, and JWST. The target counts are claimed to meet the SciRD requirements with margin.
Significance. If correct, this paper gives the community the precise location and expected scientific content of PLATO's first long-pointing field, which is essential for planning Guest Observer programs, follow-up observations, and archival work. The paper is strong in that the field footprint is released as MOC regions on Zenodo, the target counts are derived from stated public catalogs and a cited noise model, and the authors explicitly acknowledge that in-flight optical performance may change the numbers. The extensive list of known and candidate planets, clusters, and variables in LOPS2 is a useful reference. The main scientific claim—that the field satisfies the PLATO sample requirements—is supported by the quoted counts, though those counts lack quantitative uncertainty estimates. The selection-process narrative, however, rests partly on an uncited engineering threshold, which is the weakest point of the manuscript.
major comments (3)
- [Section 2.1] The duty-cycle threshold of |β| > 69.671° is presented as a concluded value from 'a detailed assessment of the problem with the PLATO mission team,' but no derivation, citation, or reference to a public technical document is given. This threshold is the sole quantitative reason LOPS1 (β ≈ 66.30°) is abandoned in favor of LOPS2 (β ≈ 71.12°), and it is thus load-bearing for the paper's account of the field-selection process. Please supply a citation to an accessible PLATO mission document, present the underlying calculation, or explicitly state that this is an internal mission input and discuss how the choice would change under plausible variations of the threshold (e.g., if the threshold were 68° or 69°). As written, the causal chain from engineering constraint to field selection is not independently checkable.
- [Section 2.1 / Section 2.4 / Table 2] The target counts for P1, P2, P4, and P5 are quoted to integer precision without any uncertainty estimate. The paper notes in the Introduction that exact numbers may change with in-flight optical performance, but it does not quantify the sensitivity of the counts to underlying assumptions such as the PIC version, the PINE noise model, the FOV geometry, or the 'EOL 22' scenario. Since the margins above the SciRD requirements are relatively small for P1 (8,235 vs. 7,500) and P2 (699 vs. 500), a quantitative or at least a clearly bounded systematic uncertainty would strengthen the claim that the field robustly meets the mission requirements.
- [Section 2.1] The text states that for |β| > 70° all rotation angles are compatible with the duty cycle, but then sets the required threshold at |β| > 69.671°, which lies in the 'constrained' range 63°–70°. This apparent inconsistency should be clarified. Is the requirement that the geometrical center have |β| ≥ 69.671°, or is it a condition on the existence of an acceptable rotation angle? The distinction matters because LOPS2 at |β| ≈ 71.12° is unambiguously in the unconstrained regime, but LOPS1 at 66.30° is not; explaining this cleanly would make the selection logic easier to follow.
minor comments (5)
- [Section 2.1] The phrase 'slightly more stringent than the formal requirement of |β| > 63°' is misleading: an increase from 63° to 69.671° is a 6.7° change, not a slight adjustment. Please rephrase, for example by comparing to the 70° condition.
- [Section 2.1] There is a typo in 'the the dates of the quarterly rotations'—one 'the' should be removed.
- [Section 3.4.1] Several planet names appear with a space in 'W ASP-121b,' 'W ASP-126b,' etc. The standard formatting should be 'WASP-121b' and so on throughout the text and tables.
- [Section 2.2] The sentence 'the field is color coded according to the number of co-pointing cameras, as in Fig. 1' is correct, but Figure B.2 would benefit from a note that the rotation angles are shown in reading order, which is already in the caption; consider adding this to the text reference as well.
- [Appendix B] Table B.2 is very long and would be better presented primarily as a machine-readable table on Zenodo, with a short excerpt in the paper; this would be more useful to the community than a 14-page printed table.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: field selection and target counts rely on external engineering thresholds and independent catalogs.
full rationale
The paper's central claims are (i) that LOPS2 was formally approved as the first LOP field and (ii) that LOPS2 contains enough P1-P2-P4-P5 targets to meet SciRD requirements. Claim (i) is an administrative record, not a derivation; the duty-cycle threshold |β| > 69.671 in Section 2.1 is an engineering input reported from a mission assessment, not a quantity fitted to the paper's own outputs, so the LOPS1-to-LOPS2 switch is a decision rule applied to an external constraint rather than a circular reduction. Claim (ii) is computed by applying sample definitions and noise limits to the PLATO Input Catalog v2.0.0 with PINE noise estimates, which are independent external products. The paper's self-citations (N22 Paper I, M21) define the sample classes and the prioritization metric, but the target counts and astrophysical content are evaluated from catalogs such as PIC, Exo-MerCat, TOI, YBSC, Gaia DR3, and Hunt & Reffert 2023, rather than being recovered from those definitions. There is no equation in which a 'prediction' equals a fitted parameter by construction, and no load-bearing uniqueness theorem is imported from the authors' prior work. The uncited engineering threshold is a transparency and verifiability weakness, not circularity.

PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) is an ESA M-class mission to be launched by the end of 2026 to discover and characterize transiting planets around bright and nearby stars, and in particular habitable rocky planets hosted by solar-like stars. Over the mission lifetime, an average of 8% of the science data rate will be allocated to Guest Observer programs (GOs) selected by ESA through public calls, hence it is essential for the community to know in advance where the observing fields will be located. In a previous paper, we identified two preliminary long-pointing fields (LOPN1 and LOPS1) for PLATO, respectively in the northern and southern hemisphere. Here we present LOPS2, a slightly adjusted version of the southern field that has recently been selected by the PLATO Science Working Team as the first field to be observed by PLATO for at least two continuous years, following the scientific requirements. In this paper, we describe the astrophysical content of LOPS2 in detail, including known planetary systems, bright/variable/binary stars, clusters and synergies with other current and future facilities.
