Be Binaries with Warm Dust and Exotic High-Luminosity A–F Emission-Line Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We present the results of photometric and high-resolution spectroscopic studies of a group of B[e] stars (Be stars with warm dust or B[e]Ds) and of two cooler objects with extremely high luminosities (HDE 331319 and IRC+10420). The B[e]Ds is a growing group of objects with very strong emission-line spectra, some of which show direct evidence of the presence of a hot and a cool star in the system. Their basic properties and connection to other groups of binaries are discussed, and a new list of members is presented. Fundamental parameters and chemical composition of an unusual F-supergiant HDE 331319 and recent results on a fast evolving object IRC+10420 are also reported.
