The BRITE-Constellation Nanosatellite Space Mission And Its First Scientific Results
G. Handler, A. Pigulski, W. W. Weiss +15
The BRIght Target Explorer (BRITE) Constellation is the first nanosatellite mission applied to astrophysical research. Five satellites in low-Earth orbits perform precise optical t…
Pulsations and outbursts in Be stars: Small differences - big impacts
D. Baade, Th. Rivinius, A. Pigulski +12
New high-cadence observations with BRITE covering many months confirm that coupled pairs of nonradial pulsation modes are widespread among early-type Be stars. With the difference…
Combining BRITE and ground-based photometry for the Beta Cephei star Nu Eridani: impact on photometric pulsation mode identification and detection of several g modes
G. Handler, M. Rybicka, A. Popowicz +12
We report a simultaneous ground and space-based photometric study of the Beta Cephei star Nu Eridani. Half a year of observations have been obtained by four of the five satellites…
The BRITE Constellation nanosatellite mission: Testing, commissioning and operations
H. Pablo, G. N. Whittaker, A. Popowicz +27
BRITE (BRIght Target Explorer) Constellation, the first nanosatellite mission applied to astrophysical research, is a collaboration among Austria, Canada and Poland. The fleet of s…
Massive pulsating stars observed by BRITE-Constellation. I. The triple system Beta Centauri (Agena)
A. Pigulski, H. Cugier, A. Popowicz +16
This paper aims to precisely determine the masses and detect pulsation modes in the two massive components of Beta Cen with BRITE-Constellation photometry. In addition, seismic mod…
Short-term variability and mass loss in Be stars I. BRITE satellite photometry of and Centauri
D. Baade, Th. Rivinius, A. Pigulski +13
Empirical evidence for the involvement of nonradial pulsations (NRP's) in the mass loss from Be stars ranges from (i) a singular case (\object{ Cen}) of repetitive mass ejection…
