• Description: Magnetic B-type stars exhibit photometric variability due to diverse causes, and consequently on a variety of timescales. In this paper we describe interpretation of BRITE photometry and related ground-based observations of four magnetic B-type systems: eps Lupi, tau Sco, a Cen and eps CMa.
