Classical Be stars: Rapidly rotating B stars with viscous Keplerian decretion disks

T Rivinius, AC Carciofi, C Martayan - The Astronomy and Astrophysics …, 2013 - Springer
In the past decade, a consensus has emerged regarding the nature of classical Be stars:
They are very rapidly rotating main sequence B stars, which, through a still unknown, but …

Prevalence of SED turndown among classical Be stars: Are all Be stars close binaries?

R Klement, AC Carciofi, T Rivinius… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org

The life cycles of Be viscous decretion discs: Time-dependent modelling of infrared continuum observations

RG Vieira, AC Carciofi, JE Bjorkman… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
We apply the viscous decretion disc (VDD) model to interpret the infrared disc continuum
emission of 80 Be stars observed in different epochs. In this way, we determined 169 …

Non-LTE Monte Carlo radiative transfer. II. Nonisothermal solutions for viscous Keplerian disks

AC Carciofi, JE Bjorkman - The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We discuss the basic hydrodynamics that determines the density structure of the disks
around hot stars. Observational evidence supports the idea that these disks are Keplerian …
