Be Stars In Young Clusters, Shaukat N. Goderya, Edward G. Schmidt

Edward Schmidt Publications

Photometric Hχ and Hβ line indices for 71 B stars in seven galactic clusters are presented. Some stars in three of the clusters were observed at two epochs. Using these data nine Be stars were identified. Three of them were previously detected as emission-line stars, while six do not appear to have been previously recognized as such. Of the 62 stars for which we find no indication of emission, three were previously found to exhibit emission. We find that emission-line objects are absent among the most luminous early B giants.
