Abstract

We examine long-term, cyclic variabilities of the outflow in the disks of Be stars in Be/X-ray binaries in the context of the viscous decretion disk scenario. In this scenario, the matter ejected from the equatorial surface of the star with the Keplerian rotation velocity drifts outward because of viscosity and forms a disk (Lee et al. 1991).
