A study of Be stars in the Magellanic Clouds
Shaheen Iqbal, Stefan C. Keller
TL;DR
This study surveys Be stars in young clusters of the Magellanic Clouds, revealing that their fraction decreases with both cluster age and metallicity, providing insights into stellar evolution in different environments.
Contribution
It offers the first comprehensive photometric survey of Be stars across multiple clusters in the Magellanic Clouds, highlighting the influence of age and metallicity.
Findings
Be star fraction decreases with cluster age.
Be star fraction decreases with metallicity.
Provides data on Be star distribution in the Magellanic Clouds.
Abstract
We present the results of a photometric survey for Be stars in eleven young clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud and fourteen young clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud. B stars with hydrogen in emission are identified on the basis of their R-H{\alpha} colour. We find that Be star fraction in clusters decreases with cluster age, and also decreases with the metallicity.
