The orbit and stellar masses of the archetype colliding-wind binary WR 140
Joshua D. Thomas, Noel D. Richardson, J. J. Eldridge +33
We present updated orbital elements for the Wolf-Rayet (WR) binary WR\,140 (HD\,193793; WC7pd + O5.5fc). The new orbital elements were derived using previously published measuremen…
An extensive spectroscopic time series of three Wolf-Rayet stars -- II. A search for wind asymmetries in the dust-forming WC7 binary WR137
N. St-Louis, C. Piaulet, N. D. Richardson +39
We present the results of a four-month, spectroscopic campaign of the Wolf-Rayet dust-making binary, WR137. We detect only small-amplitude, random variability in the CIII5696 emiss…
BRITE-Constellation high-precision time-dependent photometry of the early-O-type supergiant Puppis unveils the photospheric drivers of its small- and large-scale wind structures
Tahina Ramiaramanantsoa, Anthony F. J. Moffat, Robert Harmon +33
From months of dual-band optical photometric monitoring at the mmag level, BRITE-Constellation has revealed two simultaneous types of variability in the O4I(n)fp star …
The variability of the BRITE-est Wolf-Rayet binary, Velorum I. Photometric and spectroscopic evidence for colliding winds
Noel D. Richardson, Christopher M. P. Russell, Lucas St-Jean +26
We report on the first multi-color precision light curve of the bright Wolf-Rayet binary Velorum, obtained over six months with the nanosatellites in the BRITE- Constellation…
Spectroscopic madness--A golden age for amateurs
Thomas Eversberg
Today, professional instrumentation is dominated by heavily oversubscribed telescopes which focus mainly on a limited number of "fashionable" research topics. As a result, time acq…
