The BRITE spectropolarimetric program
A high-resolution spectropolarimetric survey of all (573) stars brighter than magnitude V=4 has been undertaken with Narval at TBL, ESPaDOnS at CFHT, and HarpsPol at ESO, as a ground-based support to the BRITE constellation of nano-satellites in the framework of the Ground-Based Observation Team (GB...
