Catalogue of BRITE-Constellation targets I. Fields 1 to 14 (November 2013 - April 2016)

K. Zwintz, A. Pigulski, R. Kuschnig +25

The BRIght Target Explorer (BRITE) mission collects photometric time series in two passbands aiming to investigate stellar structure and evolution. Since their launches in the year…

Space Photometry with BRITE-Constellation

Weiss W. W, Zwintz K., Kuschnig R. +16

BRITE-Constellation is devoted to high-precision optical photometric monitoring of bright stars, distributed all over the Milky Way, in red and/or blue passbands. Photometry from s…

New BRITE-Constellation observations of the roAp star Alpha Circini

W. W. Weiss, H. -E. Fröhlich, T. Kallinger +11

Chemically peculiar (CP) stars with a measurable magnetic field comprise the group of mCP stars. The pulsating members define the subgroup of rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) stars, o…

Triple system HD 201433 with a SPB star component seen by BRITE-Constellation: Pulsation, differential rotation, and angular momentum transfer

T. Kallinger, W. W. Weiss, P. G. Beck +17

Stellar rotation affects the transport of chemical elements and angular momentum and is therefore a key process during stellar evolution, which is still not fully understood. This…
