Abstract

BRITE-Constellation (where BRITE stands for BRIght Target Explorer) is an inter-national 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 gro...
