Abstract
This chapter describes non supergiant B-type stars that show emission lines, called Be stars. The emission is caused by the presence of a circumstellar decretion disk. Many physical phenomena are thought to be involved in these stars, such as rapid rotation, pulsations and magnetic fields, and give rise to variations. Spectroscopy is used as a diagnostic tool to study Be stars, by professional astronomers as well as by amateurs.
