Abstract

Spectra of northern Be stars in the near infrared region have been already described by some authors (see Slettebak, 1979 for a brief review). This paper presents general results for southern Be stars obtained from more than 100 spectrograms in the region λλ7750-9000 Å the spectra were taken in four nights of February 1985 at the 1.5m ESO telescope with the reticon instrumentation; the dispersion is 58 Åmm-1. All the available southern Be stars (right ascension between 4h and 17h) listed in the Bright Star Catalogue (Hoffleit and Jaschek, 1982) were observed. Table 1 lists the number of stars vs. spectral type (columns 1 and 2) and the number of stars which display emission at the Paschen series, 0I λ8446 Å and Call triplet (columns 3 to 5).
