B stars classification Northern standards
With the advent of large spectroscopic surveys, automated stellar parameter determination has become commonplace. Nevertheless, spectral classification still offers a quick and... -
Polarimetric asteroseismology of beta Crucis
Here we report the detection of polarization variations due to nonradial modes in the {beta} Cephei star {beta} Crucis. In so doing we confirm 40- year-old predictions of... -
B stars UBV and SpType catalogue
The present work represents a catalogue of spectral classification and photometric data of 2047 B type stars using the {Delta}Q method. Cone search capability for table... -
Red Be Stars in the LMC and the SMC
We revisit the subject of Be candidate stars towards the Magellanic Clouds, previously studied by the authors using SPM4 proper motions. We obtain Gaia DR2 parallaxes and proper... -
Mode identification in 3 pulsating hot subdwarfs
We report on the detection of pulsations of three pulsating subdwarf B stars observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) satellite and our results of mode... -
Luminosities of 34 slowly pulsating B stars
We provide three statistical model prescriptions for the bolometric corrections appropriate for B-type stars as a function of (i) T_eff_, (ii) T_eff_ and logg, and (iii) T_eff_,... -
Slowly pulsating B stars from TESS, LAMOST & Gaia DR3
This paper reports the discovery of new slowly pulsating B-type stars. Based on the photometric, spectral, and astrometric data of the TESS, LAMOST, and Gaia surveys, we have... -
OB-type pulsating stars with TESS, LAMOST & Gaia
O- and B-type (OB-type) pulsating stars are important objects for studying the structure and evolution of massive stars through asteroseismology. A large amount of data from... -
Far-UV spectroscopic atlas of B stars
We have constructed a detailed spectral atlas covering the wavelength region 930-1225{AA} for 10 sharp-lined B0-B9 stars near the main sequence. Most of the spectra we assembled... -
Rotation signature of TESS B-type stars
Stellar rotation is a fundamental observable that drives different aspects of stellar and planetary evolution. In this work, we present an unprecedented manifold analysis of 160... -
RSGs in the LMC & sp. follow-up for LMC & SMC
The binary fraction of unevolved massive stars is thought to be 70%-100% but there are few observational constraints on the binary fraction of the evolved version of a subset of... -
APOGEE2-N NIR spectra of B-type stars
We present a semi-empirical spectral classification scheme for normal B-type stars using near-infrared (NIR) spectra (1.5-1.7{mu}m) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Apache... -
Binary red supergiants. II. B-type companions
The percentage of massive main-sequence OB stars in binary systems is thought to be as high as 100%. However, very few Galactic binary red supergiants (RSGs) have been... -
Interferometric obs. of B-type stars with CHARA
We present interferometric observations of 25 spectral type-B stars that were made with the Precision Astronomical Visible Observations and the CLassic Interferometry with... -
Equivalent widths of 8 DIBs for 186 O & B stars
We study the behavior of eight diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in different interstellar environments, as characterized by the fraction of hydrogen in molecular form (f_H2_),... -
Photometric data for SN 2009ip
We present time series photometric and spectroscopic data for the transient SN 2009ip from the start of its outburst in 2012 September until 2013 November. These data were... -
ScoCen debris disks around B- and A-type stars
We have obtained Spitzer Space Telescope Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) 24 micron and 70 micron observations of 215 nearby, Hipparcos B- and A-type common... -
MMT hypervelocity star survey. II.
We present the discovery of five new unbound hypervelocity stars (HVSs) in the outer Milky Way halo. Using a conservative estimate of Galactic escape velocity, our targeted... -
A stellar rotation census of B stars
Two recent observing campaigns provide us with moderate dispersion spectra of more than 230 cluster and 370 field B stars. Combining them and the spectra of the B stars from our... -
Diffuse interstellar bands from HD 183143
Echelle spectra of HD 183143 [B7Iae, E(B-V)=1.27] were obtained on three nights, at a resolving power R=38000 and with a signal-to-noise ratio ~1000 at 6400{AA} in the final,...
