Description

We report the discovery of two massive eccentric systems with BRITE data, tau Ori and tau Lib, showing heartbeat effects close to the periastron passage. tau Lib exhibits shallow eclipses that will soon vanish due to the apsidal motion in the system. In neither system, tidally excited oscillations were detected.
