BRITE photometry of the massive post-RLOF system HD149404
G. Rauw, A. Pigulski, Y. Nazé +12
HD149404 is an evolved non-eclipsing O-star binary that has previously undergone a Roche lobe overflow interaction. Understanding some key properties of the system requires a deter…
A BRITE view on the massive O-type supergiant V973 Scorpii: Hints towards internal gravity waves or subsurface convection zones
Tahina Ramiaramanantsoa, Rathish Ratnasingam, Tomer Shenar +9
Stochastically-triggered photospheric light variations reaching mmag peak-to-valley amplitudes have been detected in the O8Iaf supergiant V973 Scorpii as the outcome of…
Beta Lyrae as seen by BRITE in 2016
Slavek Rucinski, Andrzej Pigulski, Adam Popowicz +3
The BTr and UBr satellites observed Lyrae from May to October 2016 to continuously monitor light-curve instabilities with the time resolution of about 100 mins. An instrumental…
Light-curve instabilities of Beta Lyrae observed by the BRITE satellites
Slavek M. Rucinski, Andrzej Pigulski, Adam Popowicz +9
Photometric instabilities of Lyr were observed in 2016 by two red-filter BRITE satellites over more than 10 revolutions of the binary, with 100-minute sampling. Analysis…
Instrumental effects in BRITE photometry
Andrzej Pigulski, Adam Popowicz, Rainer Kuschnig +1
The raw photometry from BRITE satellites suffers from several instrumental effects. We present the list of the known effects and discuss their origin and the ways to correct for th…
BRITE-Constellation reveals evidence for pulsations in the enigmatic binary Carinae
Noel D. Richardson, Herbert Pablo, Christiaan Sterken +15
Car is a massive, eccentric binary with a rich observational history. We obtained the first high-cadence, high-precision light curves with the BRITE-Constellation nanosatellite…
