On the Characteristics of Circumstellar Envelopes in Be Stars near the Central Object
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Observed visible energy distributions of Be stars were studied with analytic flux distributions produced by flattened circumstellar envelopes. The theoretical representation of emitted fluxes also allows for density distribution effects in the region where the visible continuum emission/absorption is raised. Two main conclusions were reached: (a) regions responsible for spectrophotometric ”shell” phases have, on average, steeper density distributions than those producing the spectrophotometric ”Be” phases; (b) the mean temperatures of the studied circumstellar envelope regions shows a linear relation with their mean ”inverse” extent R*/R.
