Pulsations in close binaries from the BRITE point of view

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2017-11-29 v1

Abstract

Using BRITE photometric data for several close binary systems we address the problem of damping pulsations in close binary systems due to proximity effects. Because of small number statistics, no firm conclusion is given, but we find pulsations in three relatively close binaries. The pulsations in these binaries have, however, very low amplitudes.
