[astro-ph.EP] The upcoming launch of the PLATO mission will open a new area of exoplanetary research by probing transiting exoplanets at long orbital periods around bright stars.
These planets will be amenable to follow-up observations, especially with the ESO telescopes as the first PLATO field is in the southern sky.
In this paper we listed the lessons we learned by monitoring the bright HIP41378 multi-planetary system over one decade via both radial-velocity and transit observations. These lessons are important for the follow-up strategy of PLATO transiting exoplanets.
