BRITE-Constellation: Nanosatellites for Precision Photometry of Bright Stars
Werner W. Weiss,Slavek M. Rucinski,A. F. J. Moffat,A. Schwarzenberg-Czerny,Otto Koudelka,Cordell Grant,Robert E. Zee,Rainer Kuschnig,St. Mochnacki,Jaymie M. Matthews,Piotr Orleanski,A. A. Pamyatnykh,Andrzej Pigulski,João Alves,Manuel Guedel,Gerald Handler,Gregg A. Wade,Konstanze Zwintz +17 more
TL;DR: BRITE-Constellation as mentioned in this paper is an international nanosatellite mission to monitor photometrically, in two colours, the brightness and temperature variations of stars generally brighter than mag(V) ≈ 4 with precision and time coverage not possible from the ground.

TL;DR: This paper discusses the technical issues, including problems encountered during on-orbit commissioning (especially higher-than-expected sensitivity of the CCDs to particle radiation), and describes in detail how the BRITE team has mitigated these problems, and provides a complete overview of mission operations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Massive pulsating stars observed by BRITE-Constellation - I. The triple system β Centauri (Agena)
Andrzej Pigulski,Henryk Cugier,Adam Popowicz,Rainer Kuschnig,A. F. J. Moffat,Slavek M. Rucinski,A. Schwarzenberg-Czerny,Werner W. Weiss,Gerald Handler,Gregg A. Wade,Otto Koudelka,Jaymie M. Matthews,St. Mochnacki,Piotr Orleanski,Herbert Pablo,Tahina Ramiaramanantsoa,G. Whittaker,E. Zocłońska,Konstanze Zwintz +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a triple system with two massive fast-rotating early B-type components is studied, and a simultaneous fit of visual and spectroscopic orbits is used to self-consistently derive the orbital parameters, and subsequently the masses, of the components.
