Be stars in young LMC clusters*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
Slitless field Hα spectroscopy with a resolution of 0.2 nm has detected numerous Be stars in 3 young open star clusters in the LMC but only a few each in one Galactic and one LMC cluster. The line widths indicate rapid rotation as is typical of Galactic field Be stars. In NGC 2004 (LMC) their distribution seems inconsistent with the assumption of either very similar equatorial rotation velocities or random orientation of the rotation axes or both, which are believed to be valid for Galactic field Be stars.
