The circumstellar disk density distributions for a sample of 63 Be southern stars from the BeSOS survey were found by modelling their H$alpha$ emission line profiles. These disk densities were used to compute disk masses and disk angular momenta for the sample. Average values for the disk mass are 3.4$times$10$^{-9}$ and 9.5$times$10$^{-10}$ $M_{star}$ for early (B0-B3) and late (B4-B9) spectral types, respectively. We also find that the range of disk angular momentum relative to the star are between 150-200 and 100-150 $J_{star}/M_{star}$, again for early and late-type Be stars respectively. The distributions of the disk mass and disk angular momentum are different between early and late-type Be stars at a 1% level of significance. Finally, we construct the disk mass distribution for the BeSOS sample as a function of spectral type and compare it to the predictions of stellar evolutionary models with rapid rotation. The observed disk masses are typically larger than the theoretical predictions, although the observed spread in disk masses is typically large.

The Be phenomenon is present in about 20$%$ of the B-type stars. Be stars show variability on a broad range of timescales, which in most cases is related to the presence of a circumstellar disk of variable size and structure. For this reason a time r
esolved survey is highly desirable in order to understand the mechanisms of disk formation which are still poorly understood. In addition, a complete observational sample would improve the statistical significance of the study of the stellar and disk parameters. The Be Stars Observation Survey (BeSOS) is a survey containing reduced spectra obtained using the echelle spectrograph PUCHEROS with a spectral resolution of 17000 in the range of 4260-7300 $text{AA}$. BeSOSs main objective is to offer consistent spectroscopic and time resolved data obtained with one instrument. The user can download or plot the data and get the stellar parameters directly from the website. We also provide a star-by-star analysis based on photometric, spectroscopic and interferometric data as well as general information about the whole BeSOS sample. Recently, BeSOS led to the discovery of a new Be star HD 42167 and facilitated study of the V/R variation of HD 35165 and HD 120324, the steady disk of HD 110335 and the Be shell status of HD 127972. Optical spectra used in this work, as well as the derived stellar parameters are available online in url{http://besos.ifa.uv.cl}.
We summarize the properties of the new periodic, small amplitude, variable stars recently discovered in the open cluster NGC 3766. They are located in the region of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram between delta Sct and slowly pulsating B stars, a reg
ion where no sustained pulsation is predicted by standard models. The origin of their periodic variability is currently unknown. We also discuss how the Gaia mission, to be launched at the end of 2013, can contribute to our knowledge of those stars.
We report the bivariate HI- and H$_2$-stellar mass distributions of local galaxies in addition of an inventory of galaxy mass functions, MFs, for HI, H$_2$, cold gas, and baryonic mass, separately into early- and late-type galaxies. The MFs are deter
mined using the HI and H$_2$ conditional distributions and the galaxy stellar mass function, GSMF. For the conditional distributions we use the compilation presented in Calette et al. 2018. For determining the GSMF from $M_{ast}sim3times10^{7}$ to $3times10^{12}$ $M_{odot}$, we combine two spectroscopic samples from the SDSS at the redshift range $0.0033<z<0.2$. We find that the low-mass end slope of the GSMF, after correcting from surface brightness incompleteness, is $alphaapprox-1.4$, consistent with previous determinations. The obtained HI MFs agree with radio blind surveys. Similarly, the H$_2$ MFs are consistent with CO follow-up optically-selected samples. We estimate the impact of systematics due to mass-to-light ratios and find that our MFs are robust against systematic errors. We deconvolve our MFs from random errors to obtain the intrinsic MFs. Using the MFs, we calculate cosmic density parameters of all the baryonic components. Baryons locked inside galaxies represent 5.4% of the universal baryon content, while $sim96$% of the HI and H$_2$ mass inside galaxies reside in late-type morphologies. Our results imply cosmic depletion times of H$_2$ and total neutral H in late-type galaxies of $sim 1.3$ and 7.2 Gyr, respectively, which shows that late type galaxies are on average inefficient in converting H$_2$ into stars and in transforming HI gas into H$_2$. Our results provide a fully self-consistent empirical description of galaxy demographics in terms of the bivariate gas--stellar mass distribution and their projections, the MFs. This description is ideal to compare and/or to constrain galaxy formation models.
Surface brightness-color relations (SBCRs) are used for estimating angular diameters and deriving stellar properties. They are critical to derive extragalactic distances of early-type and late-type eclipsing binaries or, potentially, for extracting p
lanetary parameters of late-type stars hosting planets. Various SBCRs have been implemented so far, but strong discrepancies in terms of precision and accuracy still exist in the literature. We aim to develop a precise SBCR for early-type B and A stars using selection criteria, based on stellar characteristics, and combined with homogeneous interferometric angular diameter measurements. We also improve SBCRs for late-type stars, in particular in the Gaia photometric band. We observed 18 early-type stars with the VEGA interferometric instrument, installed on the CHARA array. We then applied additional criteria on the photometric measurements, together with stellar characteristics diagnostics in order to build the SBCRs. We calibrated a SBCR for subgiant and dwarf early-type stars. The RMS of the relation is $sigma_{F_{V_{0}}} = 0.0051,$mag, leading to an average precision of 2.3% on the estimation of angular diameters, with 3.1% for $V-K < -0.2,$mag and 1.8% for $V-K > -0.2,$mag. We found that the conversion between Johnson-$K$ and 2MASS-$K_s$ photometries is a key issue for early-type stars. Following this result, we have revisited our previous SBCRs for late-type stars by calibrating them with either converted Johnson-$K$ or 2MASS-$K_s$ photometries. We also improve the calibration of these SBCRs based on the Gaia photometry. The expected precision on the angular diameter using our SBCRs for late-type stars ranges from 1.0% to 2.7%. By reaching a precision of 2.3% on the estimation of angular diameters for early-type stars, significant progress has been made to determine extragalactic distances using early-type eclipsing binaries.
In order to study the growth and evolution of circumstellar disks around classical Be stars, we analyze optical time-series photometry from the KELT survey with simultaneous infrared and visible spectroscopy from the APOGEE survey and BeSS database f
or a sample of 160 Galactic classical Be stars. The systems studied here show variability including transitions from a diskless to a disk-possessing state (and vice versa), and persistent disks that vary in strength, being replenished at either regularly or irregularly occurring intervals. We detect disk-building events (outbursts) in the light curves of 28% of our sample. Outbursts are more commonly observed in early- (57%), compared to mid- (27%) and late-type (8%) systems. A given system may show anywhere between 0 -- 40 individual outbursts in its light curve, with amplitudes ranging up to $sim$0.5 mag and event durations between $sim$2 -- 1000 days. We study how both the photometry and spectroscopy change together during active episodes of disk growth or dissipation, revealing details about the evolution of the circumstellar environment. We demonstrate that photometric activity is linked to changes in the inner disk, and show that, at least in some cases, the disk growth process is asymmetrical. Observational evidence of Be star disks both growing and clearing from the inside out is presented. The duration of disk buildup and dissipation phases are measured for 70 outbursts, and we find that the average outburst takes about twice as long to dissipate as it does to build up in optical photometry. Our analysis hints that dissipation of the inner disk occurs relatively slowly for late-type Be stars.
