Statistical Overview of BRITE Targets Observed So Far

Andrzej Pigulski and the BRITE Team

We characterize BRITE data obtained between 2013 and 2017 in the first 21 BRITE observing fields. Then, we overview the sample of 426 stars observed so far by the BRITE satellites. The review shows that BRITEs provide unique and precise space photometry, which allows to obtain outstanding scientific results in many areas of stellar astrophysics.
