Abstract: | The populations of B and Be-stars in the young open clusters NGC 7419 and NGC 659 are studied. Lowresolution spectral observations
in the region of the Hα line are used to study 34 members of NGC 7419 and additional spectra in the range λ3700-6200 ? are
obtained for 12 stars. During the period of our observations, four previously identified Be-stars manifested an absorption
profile for the Hα line. Emission in the Hα line is observed in the spectra of 21 objects. The members of the cluster NGC
7419 are classified as to spectral type. The position of the Be-stars on a two-color IR diagram and a comparison with the
position of the objects in other clusters with similar ages cast doubt on the existence of two starformation waves. Moderate
resolution spectra were obtained for 22 stars in the cluster NGC 659 over wavelengths of λ4050-5200 ? and for 7 objects in
the neighborhood of the Hα line. Emission is observed in both the Hα and Hβ lines for two of the five Be-stars that were studied,
while faint emission appears only in the Hα line in one of the stars. The other members of the cluster show no signs of emission
in these spectra. Teff, log g, and Vsini are estimated for the observed stars. It is found that 5 of the objects are not members of the cluster. |
