Transit asymmetry calculations for planets around diverse host stars for PLATO. Top: differences between the individual evening and morning transit depths (transit asymmetries) of cloudy atmosphere scenarios for observation in PLATO’s white band for tidally locked planets with T_global = 800 K … 2600 K (left: all latitudes are used, right: only equatorial information is used). Colored stripes indicate the range for cloud scenarios (with cloud mass load, ρ_g/ρ_d(z) for atmospheric layers, where 〈a〉 < 0.1 μm is scaled by values between 1 and 10⁻³) around different main sequence host stars (purple: A, dark blue: F, golden: G, orange: K, gray: M). Circles denote the maximum values and crosses indicate negative evening-morning transit asymmetries for clarity. Bottom: differences for individual evening (thick lines with circle) and morning (thin lines with triangle) transit depths between PLATO’s red and blue filter. The dashed line indicates a transit depth signal of 150 ppm.
