Abstract:
We present new measurement of the distribution of energy in the continuum for eight Be stars in the optical region (λλ3200-7600Å). The effective temperatures of these stars have been estimated from their observed fluxes. It is found that, in general, 'pole-on' stars show near-infrared excess emission,. It is interesting to note the Balmer jumps for stars having an infrared excess are systematically smaller than for those lacking the infrared excess.
