Long-term photometry of Be stars: II. Periodic variations on time scales of days to months

Sterken, C; Vogt N.; Mennickent, R. E.

Abstract

Strömgren differential uvby photometry of 4 Be stars is analysed. The data were taken during the time interval 1983-1994 in the framework of the Long-Term Photometry of Variables project at La Silla. We detected in these four stars periodic photometric variations with periods between 4 and 93 days. The two cases with the longest periods (FT CMa with P = 87d.9 and FY CMa with P = 92d.7) did not have any previously known periodic variability. In three of the four cases the periodic oscillation was coherent and always present during the 10 years of monitoring.
