43 Cygni observed with BRITE-Constellation

TL;DR

This paper reports a 156-day observation of the gamma Doradus star 43 Cygni by BRITE-Constellation, identifying 37 pulsation frequencies and a regular period spacing pattern for future asteroseismic study.

Contribution

First detailed pulsation frequency analysis of 43 Cygni using BRITE data revealing a regular period spacing pattern.

Findings

Identified 37 pulsation frequencies

Detected a regular period spacing pattern

Data set suitable for detailed asteroseismic modeling

Abstract

The gamma Doradus star 43 Cygni was observed by BRITE-Toronto for 156 days in 2015. From this data set we identified 37 pulsation frequencies which show a regular period spacing pattern that will be subject of a more detailed asteroseismic analysis.
