New Oe stars in LAMOST DR5

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2018-08-15 v1

Abstract

Stars of spectral type Oe are very rare. To date, only 13 Oe stars have been identified within our Galaxy. In this paper, we present six new Oe stars and four new B0e stars found in LAMOST DR5. Repeated spectral observations of the same Oe stars show some emission line variability. The Hβ\beta emission of TYC 4801-17-1 shows rapid V/R variation. Phase lags in the V/R ratio of TYC 4801-17-1 spectra are also seen. We found the unusual O4.5 star RL 128 is an Oe star with variable Hα\alpha intensity and its Ca II triplet emission appears when Hα\alpha emission reaches maximum intensity. These newly identified early type Oe and B0e stars significantly increase the known sample.
