Abstrakt

We discuss the potential of BRITE-Constellation for asteroseismology of main sequence B-type pulsators. We briefly review previous asteroseismic work on these oscillators and point out the importance of these stars for astrophysics in general. We find that BRITE-Constellation is ideally suited for studying B-type pulsators, and we identify several interesting regions in the sky that may be observed.
