Magnetic OB[A] Stars with TESS: probing their Evolutionary and Rotational properties -- The MOBSTER Collaboration
A. David-Uraz, C. Neiner, J. Sikora +14
In this contribution, we present the MOBSTER Collaboration, a large community effort to leverage high-precision photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (\textit{T…
Physics of Eclipsing Binaries. IV. The impact of interstellar extinction on the light curves of eclipsing binaries
David Jones, Kyle E. Conroy, Martin Horvat +6
Traditionally, the effects of interstellar extinction on binary star light curves have been treated as a uniform reduction in the observed brightness of the system that is independ…
The chaotic wind of WR 40 as probed by BRITE
Tahina Ramiaramanantsoa, Richard Ignace, Anthony F. J. Moffat +9
Among Wolf-Rayet stars, those of subtype WN8 are the intrinsically most variable. We have explored the long-term photometric variability of the brightest known WN8 star, WR 40, thr…
Lupi: measuring the heartbeat of a doubly-magnetic massive binary with BRITE-Constellation
H. Pablo, M. Shultz, J. Fuller +15
Lupi A is a binary system consisting of two main sequence early B-type stars Aa and Ab in a short period, moderately eccentric orbit. The close binary pair is the onl…
Photometry of Beta Lyrae in 2018 by the BRITE satellites
Slavek M. Rucinski, Andrzej Pigulski, Rainer Kuschnig +6
Observations of Beta Lyr in four months of 2018 by three BRITE Constellation satellites (the red-filter BTr and BHr, and the blue-filter BLb) permitted a first, limited look into t…
Magnetic OB[A] Stars with TESS: probing their Evolutionary and Rotational properties (MOBSTER) - I. First-light observations of known magnetic B and A stars
A. David-Uraz, C. Neiner, J. Sikora +21
In this paper we introduce the MOBSTER collaboration and lay out its scientific goals. We present first results based on the analysis of nineteen previously known magnetic O, B and…
