Be Stars catalogue

[SteveBz]

Hi Folks,

Does anyone have a list of Be stars? Especially ones currently earlier in the night. Eg in Lyra.

Kind regards

Steve.

Check the spectroscopy groups.io group, there's a team looking at them there from a list. I don't seem to be able to add it from my phone

Also try here http://basebe.obspm.fr/basebe/

No, it's even better. But it was @skybadger

Sorry 😞.  My mistake. 

I discovered a couple of candidate Be stars during a spectroscopic search but the Web site with them on seems to have gone missing.

The web site has gone. I found a link in a BAA post I made about it.

What's your interest in them?

I'm using them as a stepping stone into spectroscopy. I've joined a group of six or eight like minded folks to try to track a group after rapidly varying Be stars for longer periods of time than we might otherwise do.

I'm using a lowspec 3 and just putting the final touches to a star'ex.

Kind regards,

Steve.

Sounds a good interesting project.  Best of luck with it. 

This used to be a major topic on the ARAS forum but it seems to have disappeared.  Maybe @robin_astro know what happened.

The Be star candidate search page is still there on the ARAS website

http://www.astrosurf.com/aras/be_candidate/auto-be-candidate.html

The ARAS forum has been down for some time after a hacking incident trashed it. They have a backup and should eventually be up and running again but it is taking a lot of effort to sort out  the associated  images I believe

Cheers

also ARASBeAM which links to BeSS and updates with what stars need observing 

http://arasbeam.free.fr/spip.php?page=beam_belist2&lang=en

Valerie Desnoux also publishes a regular report on the spectroscopy forums on Be star activity eg

https://groups.io/g/spectro-l/topic/bess_monthly_report_september/101976358

and professional Jon Labadie Bartz has had program with amateur involvement running for several years now comparing spectroscopy and TESS brightness variability
