Outbursts and stellar properties of the classical Be star HD 6226
Noel D. Richardson, Olivier Thizy, Jon E. Bjorkman +58
The bright and understudied classical Be star HD 6226 has exhibited multiple outbursts in the last several years during which the star grew a viscous decretion disk. We analyze 659…
The Detection and Characterization of Be+sdO Binaries from HST/STIS FUV Spectroscopy
Luqian Wang, Douglas R. Gies, Geraldine J. Peters +4
The B-emission line stars are rapid rotators that were probably spun up by mass and angular momentum accretion through mass transfer in an interacting binary. Mass transfer will st…
Spectroscopic Detection of the Pre-White Dwarf Companion of Regulus
Douglas R. Gies, Kathryn V. Lester, Luqian Wang +6
Mass transfer in an interacting binary will often strip the mass donor of its entire envelope and spin up the mass gainer to near critical rotation. The nearby B-type star Regulus…
HST/COS Spectra of the Wind Lines of VFTS 102 and 285
Katherine Shepard, Douglas R. Gies, Kathryn V. Lester +5
Rapid rotation in massive stars imposes a latitudinal variation in the mass loss from radiatively driven winds that can lead to enhanced mass loss at the poles (with little angular…
Detection of the Ultraviolet Spectrum of the Hot Subdwarf Companion of 60 Cygni (B1 Ve) from a Survey of IUE Spectra of Be Stars
Luqian Wang, Douglas R. Gies, Geraldine J. Peters
We used archival International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) high-dispersion, short wavelength spectra data to search for evidence of the spectra of hot subdwarf companions of six rap…
