Rotationally Modulated Photometric Variations in B Supergiants?

Alexandre David-Uraz, Gregg Wade, Anthony Moffat, Stan Owocki, Véronique Petit and the BRITE team

In this contribution, we present BRITE observations of the early-B supergiants ε Ori and κ Ori. We perform a preliminary analysis of the data acquired over the first two Orion observing runs. We evaluate whether they are compatible with co-rotating bright spots and discuss the challenges of such an approach.
