Abstract
I give a summary of results from the WIRE satellite, which has been used to observe bright stars from 1999–2000 and 2003–2006. The WIRE targets are monitored for up to five weeks with a duty cycle of 30–40%. The aim has been to characterize the flux variation of stars across the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. I present an overview of the results for solar-like stars, δ Scuti stars, giant stars, and eclipsing binaries.
