SMC Be stars candidates
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
Recently the OGLE experiment has provided accurate light curves and colours for about 2 millions stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud.
Description
We have examined this database for its content of Be stars, applying some selection criteria, and we have found a sample of ~1000 candidates. Some of these stars show beautiful light curves with amazing variations never observed in any Galactic variable.
We find outbursts in 13% of the sample (type-1 stars), high and low states in 15%, periodic variations in 7%, and the usual variations seen in Galactic Be stars in 65% of the cases. The Galactic counterparts of type-1 objects could be the outbursting Be stars found by Hubert & Floquet (1998, Cat. J/A+A/335/565) after the analysis of Hipparcos photometry.

We discuss the possibility that type-1 stars could correspond to Be stars with accreting white dwarf companions or alternatively, blue pre-main sequence stars surrounded by thermally unstable accretion disks. We provide coordinates and basic photometric information for these stars and some examples of light curves.
