Abstract
Context. Classical Be stars are hot non-supergiant stars surrounded by a gaseous circumstellar disk that is responsible for the observed IR-excess and emission lines. The influence of binarity on these phenomena remains controversial.
Highlights
Classical Be stars are close-to-main-sequence hot stars that show or have shown infrared excess and emission lines in their spectra
Considering that they are fast rotators, a generally accepted view of these objects is that their circumstellar environment consists of two distinct regions: a dense equatorial disk dominated by rotation where most of the infrared radiation and emission lines are produced and a more diluted polar wind responsible for the highly broadened ultraviolet lines
We discovered that two other K-band emission lines were strong enough to support the kinematics study: the He i line located at 2.06 μm, and the Brδ line around 1.94 μm
