We present a spectroscopic study of 150 Classical Be stars in 39 open clusters using medium resolution spectra in the wavelength range 3800 - 9000 \AA. One-third of the sample (48 stars in 18 clusters) has been studied for the first time.…

Classical Be (CBe) stars are rapidly rotating B-type stars with Balmer emission lines that originated from the decretion disks surrounding them in their spectra. Accounting for $\sim$20% of all B-type stars, most CBe stars are thought to…

Variability is a commonly observed property of classical Be stars (CBe) stars. In extreme cases, complete disappearance of the H{\alpha} emission line occurs, indicating a disc-less state in CBe stars. The disc-loss and reappearing phases…

We present B, V, R, and H alpha photometry of 8 clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud, 5 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, and 3 Galactic clusters, and use 2 color diagrams (2-CDs) to identify candidate Be star populations in these clusters.…

Classical Be stars, the "e" standing for the presence of spectroscopic line emission, are main sequence stars of spectral type B that are able to form a gaseous disk in Keplerian motion from star-ejected matter. The main driver of this…
