BRITE View of σ Scorpii, a β Cephei-Type Star Studied for over a Century

Andrzej Pigulski, Henryk Cugier, Gerald Handler, Refilwe Kgoadi and the BRITE Team

Preliminary results of the analysis of the combined space-based BRITE and SMEI, and ground-based Strömgren photometry are presented. The BRITE data allowed to find seven p and three g modes in the frequency spectrum of this star; only four p modes were known in this star prior to this study. The first results of seismic modelling are also presented.
