Abstract

We present the time series analysis of seven B-type stars (HD 121790, HD 122980, HD 129116, HD 133242, HD 144294, HD 145482, and HD 145502) observed with the BRITE satellites. Furthermore, we located these stars in the Hertzsprung-Russell-diagram. One rotational induced variable (HD 122980, P~80 d) and one binary (HD 145502, P~5.6 d) showing variability due to ellipsoidal variation and/or reflection were detected.
