BRITE Photometric Variability of the Intriguing Wolf-Rayet Star WR6: Rotational or Binary Modulations?
Abstract
This paper presented preliminary results from a simultaneous photometric and spectroscopic observing campaign of the WR star WR6, of spectral subtype WN4b. The combination of BRITE-Constellation photometry over a time-interval of nearly 160 days and optical spectroscopy over more than 100 days led to a unique dataset, both in time coverage and temporal resolution.
