The birth of Be star disks III. SPH models of localised mass ejections
A. C. Rubio, A. C. Carciofi, D. Baade +4
Classical Be stars exhibit mass ejection events that feed their viscous decretion disks. Recent TESS space photometry and simultaneous spectroscopy revealed that these flickers are…
X-Raying a Be star disk: fundamental parameters of the eclipsing binary Be star V658 Car
Tajan H. de Amorim, Alex C. Carciofi, Jonathan Labadie-Bartz +8
With its two stellar eclipses and two disk attenuations per binary orbit, V658 Carinae stands out as the first clear eclipsing Be + sdOB system. This rare alignment offers a unique…
The birth of Be star disks I. From localized ejection to circularization
J. Labadie-Bartz, A. C. Carciofi, A. C. Rubio +35
Classical Be stars are well known to eject mass, but the details governing the initial distribution and evolution of this matter into a disk are poorly constrained by observations.…
High-spatial-resolution simulations of Be star disks in binary systems: I. Structure and kinematics of coplanar disks
A. C. Rubio, A. C. Carciofi, J. E. Bjorkman +5
Binarity in massive stars has proven to be an important aspect in the their evolution. For Be stars, it might be the cause of their spin up, and thus part of the mechanism behind t…
