Description
We lack a reliable scenario for the formation and evolution of stars and their
planetary systems, involving key factors such as magnetic fields and
turbulence. We present the case for a mission concept that will clarify these
problems and give us a global view of the evolution of combined star and
planetary systems. This will be achieved by simultaneously addressing the
search for planetary transits in front of a large number of stars, including
many nearby stars, the study of their internal structure and evolution via
asteroseismology, and that of their magnetic activity, via UV monitoring.
