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…
The nature of the Na I D-lines in the Red Rectangle
Joshua D. Thomas, Adolf N. Witt, Jason P. Aufdenberg +6
In this paper we examine the profiles of the complex Na I D-lines in the Red Rectangle. The spectra were acquired with the ARCES échelle spectrograph R = 38,000 on the 3.5-m telesc…
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…
