Abstract

A photometric study of a large sample of Be stars is reported. Infrared homogeneous observational data in theJHKL system are used to derive some photometric characteristics of Be stars, as a class. New infrared observations of 34 Be stars are included in the present paper. Infrared two-colour diagrams are used to investigate the presence of in frared emission in Be stars. The origin of infrared excess in relation to Balmer line emission in Be stars is discussed.
