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…
PolStar -- An Explorer-Class FUV Spectropolarimetry Mission to Map the Environments of Massive Stars
Paul Scowen, Richard Ignace, Coralie Neiner +26
PolStar is an Explorer-class far ultraviolet (FUV) spectropolarimetry mission designed to target massive stars and their environments. PolStar will take advantage of resonance line…
Prevalence of SED turndown among classical Be stars: Are all Be stars close binaries?
Robert Klement, A. C. Carciofi, T. Rivinius +16
Rapid rotation is a fundamental characteristic of classical Be stars and a crucial property allowing for the formation of their circumstellar disks. Past evolution in a mass and an…
Monte Carlo Simulations of Polarimetric and Light Variability from Corotating Interaction Regions in Hot Stellar Winds
Danny Carlos-Leblanc, Nicole St-Louis, Jon Bjorkman +1
We use a 3D Monte Carlo radiative transfer code to study the polarimetric and photometric variability from stationary corotating interaction regions (CIR) in the wind of massive st…
The life cycles of Be viscous decretion discs: fundamental disc parameters of 54 SMC Be stars
Leandro Rocha Rímulo, Alex Cavaliéri Carciofi, Rodrigo Georgetti Vieira +7
Be stars are main-sequence massive stars with emission features in their spectrum, which originates in circumstellar gaseous discs. Even though the viscous decretion disc (VDD) mod…
The life cycles of Be viscous decretion discs: time-dependent modelling of infrared continuum observations
Rodrigo G. Vieira, Alex C. Carciofi, Jon E. Bjorkman +3
We apply the viscous decretion disc (VDD) model to interpret the infrared disc continuum emission of 80 Be stars observed in different epochs. In this way, we determined 169 specif…
