Spectropolarimetry of 60 Cyg and {pi} Aqr

We present one of the most comprehensive spectropolarimetric views to date of such a transition for two Be stars, {pi} Aquarii and 60 Cygni. The disk-loss episode of 60 Cyg was characterized by a generally monotonic decrease in emission strength over a timescale of ~1000 days from the maximum V-band polarization to the minimum H{alpha} equivalent width, consistent with the viscous timescale of the disk, assuming {alpha}~0.14. {pi} Aqr's disk loss was episodic in nature and occurred over a timescale of ~2440 days.
