Light Curves of Be Stairs due to Orbiting Arcs of Matter or Prominence-Like Structures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
An alternative explanation to the light variations of some Be stars observed during their Be ⇌ Be-shell phase changes is proposed in terms of orbiting or passing clouds. Discrete ejections of matter and/or the presence of orbiting clouds suggest that the circumstellar envelopes of these Be stars may be clumpy.
