Dynamical Evolution of Viscous Disks around Be Stars. II : polarimetry

Xavier Haubois, Bruno C. Mota, Alex C. Carciofi +4

Be stars exhibit variability for a great number of observables. Putting the pieces together of the disk dynamics is not an easy task and requires arduous modeling before achieving…

Disk-Loss and Disk-Renewal Phases in Classical Be Stars II. Contrasting with Stable and Variable Disks

Zachary H. Draper, John P. Wisniewski, Karen S. Bjorkman +5

Recent observational and theoretical studies of classical Be stars have established the utility of polarization color diagrams (PCD) in helping to constrain the time-dependent mass…

Dynamical Evolution of Viscous Disks around Be Stars. I: photometry

X. Haubois, A. C. Carciofi, Th. Rivinius +2

Be stars possess gaseous circumstellar disks that modify in many ways the spectrum of the central B star. Furthermore, they exhibit variability at several timescales and for a larg…

The first determination of the viscosity parameter in the circumstellar disk of a Be Star

Alex C. Carciofi, Jon E. Bjorkman, Sebastián A. Otero +5

Be stars possess gaseous circumstellar decretion disks, which are well described using standard -disk theory. The Be star 28 CMa recently underwent a long outburst followed by a…

A New Diagnostic of the Radial Density Structure of Be Disks

Zachary H. Draper, John P. Wisniewski, Karen S. Bjorkman +5

We analyze the intrinsic polarization of two classical Be stars in the process of losing their circumstellar disks via a Be to normal B star transition originally reported by Wisni…

Disk-Loss and Disk Renewal Phases in Classical Be Stars II. Detailed Analysis of Spectropolarimetric Data

Zachary H. Draper, John P. Wisniewski, Karen S. Bjorkman +4

In Wisniewski et al. 2010, paper I, we analyzed 15 years of spectroscopic and spectropolarimetric data from the Ritter and Pine Bluff Observatories of 2 Be stars, 60 Cygni and π Aq…
