A high fraction of Be stars in young massive clusters: evidence for a large population of near-critically rotating stars
N. Bastian, I. Cabrera-Ziri, F. Niederhofer +6
Recent photometric analysis of the colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of young massive clusters (YMCs) have found evidence for splitting in the main sequence and extended main sequen…
Interstellar-Medium Mapping in M82 Through Light Echoes Around Supernova 2014J
Yi Yang, Lifan Wang, Dietrich Baade +10
We present multiple-epoch measurements of the size and surface brightness of the light echoes from supernova (SN) 2014J in the nearby starburst galaxy M82. Hubble Space Telescope (…
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…
Be Stars Seen by Space Photometry
Thomas Rivinius, Dietrich Baade, Alex C. Carciofi
Classical Be stars are introduced as object class and their particular potential for space based photometry is highlighted. A brief summary of the various types of variability obse…
Short-term variability and mass loss in Be stars II. Physical taxonomy of photometric variability observed by the Kepler spacecraft
Thomas Rivinius, Dietrich Baade, Alex Carciofi
Context: [abbreviated] Aims: Kepler data of three known Be stars are re-visited to establish their pulsational nature and assess the properties of additional, non-pulsational varia…
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…
