High-precision photometry with the WIRE satellite

Astrophysics 2010-12-09 v1

Abstract

Around 200 bright stars (V < 6) have been monitored with the two-inch star tracker on the WIRE satellite since observations started in 1999. Here we present new results for the solar-like star Procyon A, the two Delta Scuti stars Altair and Epsilon Cephei, and the triple system Lambda Scorpii which consist of two B-type stars -- one of which we find to be an eclipsing binary.
