The exoplanet host star beta Pictoris seen by BRITE-Constellation
Konstanze Zwintz
TL;DR
This study uses BRITE-Constellation data to analyze the pulsational properties of the exoplanet host star beta Pictoris, providing insights into its asteroseismic characteristics and supporting ongoing observational campaigns.
Contribution
It presents the first detailed asteroseismic analysis of beta Pictoris based on extensive BRITE-Constellation observations, enhancing understanding of its stellar pulsations.
Findings
Characterized the pulsational properties of beta Pictoris.
Supported the detection of transits related to beta Pictoris b's Hill sphere.
Contributed to understanding the circumstellar environment.
Abstract
BRITE-Constellation has observed the exoplanet host star Pictoris for 225 days from November 2016 to June 2017. These data allow for an accurate description of the pulsational properties and an asteroseismic interpretation. They were also observed as part of an international observing campaign which aims to detect the transit of Pictoris b's Hill sphere and study the circumstellar disk around Pictoris itself.
