The spin rates and spin evolution of the O components in WR+O binaries
D. Vanbeveren, N. Mennekens, M. M. Shara +1
Despite 50 years of extensive binary research we have to conclude that the Roche lobe overflow/mass transfer process that governs close binary evolution is still poorly understood.…
BRITEning up the Be Phenomenon
D. Baade, Th. Rivinius, A. Pigulski +13
Observations of 25 Ori much expand the picture derived of other early-type Be stars with BRITE and SMEI. Two instead of one difference frequencies rule the variability: (a) The low…
Short-term variability and mass loss in Be stars III. BRITE and SMEI satellite photometry of 28 Cygni
D. Baade, A. Pigulski, Th. Rivinius +11
The BRITE Constellation of nanosatellites obtained mmag photometry of 28 Cygni for 11 months in 2014-2016. Observations with the Solar Mass Ejection Imager in 2003-2010 and 118 H$α…
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…
BRITE-Constellation: nanosatellites for precision photometry of bright stars
W. W. Weiss, S. M. Rucinski, A. F. J. Moffat +17
BRITE-Constellation (where BRITE stands for BRIght Target Explorer) is an international nanosatellite mission to monitor photometrically, in two colours, the brightness and tempera…
BRITE-Constellation: Nanosatellites for Precision Photometry of Bright Stars
W. W. Weiss, A. F. J. Moffat, A. Schwarzenberg-Czerny +15
BRITE-Constellation (where BRITE stands for BRIght Target Explorer) is an international nanosatellite mission to monitor photometrically, in two colours, brightness and temperature…
Macroturbulent broadening: a single snap-shot approach to investigate pulsations in massive stars?
S. Simón-Díaz, N. Castro, A. Herrero +3
We present a brief progress report of our project aimed at the investigation of the so-called macroturbulent broadening affecting the line-profiles of O and early B-type stars, and…
VLT/SINFONI time-resolved spectroscopy of the central, luminous, H-rich WN stars of R136
O. Schnurr, A. -N. Chene, J. Casoli +2
Using the Very Large Telescope's Spectrograph for INtegral Field Observation in the Near-Infrared (VLT/SINFONI), we have obtained repeated AO-assisted, NIR spectroscopy of the six…
'Round the Clock Observations of the Q0957+561 A,B Gravitationally Lensed Quasar
Wesley N. Colley, Rudolph E. Schild, Cristina Abajas +20
An observing campaign with 10 participating observatories has undertaken to monitor the optical brightness of the Q0957 gravitationally lensed quasar for 10 consecutive nights in J…
