Abstract
The continuum energy distributions of four Be stars — namely, HR 7708, HR 7807, HR 7927, and HR 8171 alongwith two normal B stars HR 7426 and HR 7613 are presented in the wavelength region λλ3200–7800 Å. By a comparison the observed continuum energy distribution with that of theoretical models given by Kurucz (1979), their effective temperatures are determined and discussed.
The observed energy distribution curves show near infrared excess emission longward of λ6000 Å for HR 7807 and HR 8171 and a double Balmer jump for HR 7708.
