A BRITE view on delta Scuti and gamma Doradus stars

Konstanze Zwintz, the BRITE-Constellation Executive Science Team

BRITE-Constellation has obtained data for a few delta Scuti and gamma Doradus type stars. A short overview of the pulsational content found in five stars - beta Cassiopeiae, epsilo…

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…

Stellar modelling of Spica, a high-mass spectroscopic binary with a beta Cep variable primary component

A. Tkachenko, J. M. Matthews, C. Aerts +16

Binary stars provide a valuable test of stellar structure and evolution, because the masses of the individual stellar components can be derived with high accuracy and in a model-in…
