Abstract

Distributions of true rotational velocities as a function of spectral type for different luminosity class groups of B and Be Stars are compared. While the distributions for B stars differ clearly from one luminosity class to another, those of Be Stars differ less, which indicates that due to rotational effects many Be Stars are considered more evolved than they actually are. Be Stars ‘select’ a narrow range of true rotational velocities to display the Be phenomenon and those of latter spectral types rotate only marginally faster than the early ones.
