Aitoff sky projection in Galactic coordinates showing (circular markers) the TLS, with the marker size corresponding to the star’s visual magnitude (see legend key). The PLATO long-stare (LOP) fields are shown in blue (with shade corresponding to the number of 24, 18, 12, or 6 overlapping cameras). Yellow markers indicate targets identified as being within current PLATO LOP field definitions (see text), while orange markers indicate targets within 5° of the LOP field boundaries. Stars that are in binary systems and listed in Table D.5 are further marked with a cross (×). The TESS CVZs are given by the red circles that partly overlap the PLATO fields. The red line indicates the sky’s equatorial plane, while the green line gives the ecliptic plane.
