BeSS database

The BeSS database contains the complete catalog of classical Be stars and Herbig Ae/Be stars, and assembles spectra obtained by professional and amateur astronomers of those stars. This database is maintained at the LESIA laboratory of the Observatoire de Paris-Meudon. Everyone can query the BeSS database to download the Be star spectra of one's choice or to check the catalog of classical Be stars and Herbig Ae/Be stars.

IUE data in the MAST archive

The International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) performed spectrophotometry at high (0.1-0.3 Å) and low (6-7 Å) resolution between 1150 Å and 3200 Å between 1978 and 1996. The data in the IUE archive is in an original IUE format, more standard fits files produced from that format are available in BeSS

WUPPE data in the MAST archive

The Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo-Polarimeter (WUPPE) was a shuttle-borne instrument used to obtain polarization and spectrophotometry in the UV from 1400 to 3300 Å with 16 Å spectral resolution. It flew in December 1990 and March 1995.

HPOL data in the MAST archive

The HPOL spectropolarimeter is a modified Boller and Chivens small telescope spectrograph. The system provides simultaneous spectrophotometry and spectropolarimetry over the range of 320nm to 1050nm (prior to 1995, the spectral range was 320nm to 775nm), with a spectral resolution of 1nm (2.2nm prior to 1995).
