TL;DR: The PLATO 2.0 instrument consists of 34 small aperture telescopes (32 with 25 sec readout cadence and 2 with 2.5 sec candence) providing a wide field-of-view (2232 deg2) and a large photometric magnitude range (4-16 mag) as discussed by the authors.

Catastrophic Disruptions Revisited
Willy Benz,Erik Asphaug +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a smooth particle hydrodynamics method to simulate colliding rocky and icy bodies from centimeter scale to hundreds of kilometers in diameter in an effort to define self-consistently the threshold for catastrophic disruption.

Extrasolar planet population synthesis - I. Method, formation tracks, and mass-distance distribution
TL;DR: In this paper, a large number of planet population synthesis calculations within the framework of the core accretion scenario was carried out, and the results showed that the variation of the initial conditions in the limits occurring in nature leads to the formation of wide diversity.
