HD 120678: a classical Be star with a tilting heartbeat disk

Dietrich Baade, Jonathan Labadie-Bartz, Thomas Rivinius

Classical Oe/Be/Ae stars possess Keplerian circum-equatorial decretion disks which produce not just the eponymous emission lines but also the bewildering diversity of photometric v…

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…

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.…

Newborn Be star systems observed shortly after mass transfer

Th. Rivinius, R. Klement, S. D. Chojnowski +24

Many classical Be stars acquire their very rapid rotation by mass and angular-momentum transfer in massive binaries. Short-lived intermediate-phase objects have only been discovere…

VLTI/GRAVITY enables the determination of the first dynamical masses of a classical Be + stripped and bloated pre-subdwarf binary

R. Klement, Th. Rivinius, D. Baade +7

HR~6819 is the first post-mass transfer binary system composed of a classical Be star and a bloated pre-subdwarf stripped star directly confirmed by interferometry. While the Be st…

The CHARA Array interferometric program on the multiplicity of classical Be stars: new detections and orbits of stripped subdwarf companions

Robert Klement, Thomas Rivinius, Douglas R. Gies +8

Rapid rotation and nonradial pulsations enable Be stars to build decretion disks, where the characteristic line emission forms. A major but unconstrained fraction of Be stars owe t…
