Be Stars survey from the south

We've been making about ten spectra a night from our installation in Chile, and we've noticed the following changes in our latest spectra:

1) End of HD93442's outburst between January and May 2025.

Re: 33 new Wolf Rayet stars

Thank you Tom for your message.
The good thing is that this technique can be adapted to any type of star, you just need to set the right parameters at the start and of course confirm the candidates with a spectrum.

33 new Wolf Rayet stars

Our 2 SPOT team discovered 33 new Wolf Rayet-type stars by examining the GAIA data for potential candidates, then confirming them by producing a spectrum.

Lionel from our 2SPOT team carried out most of this work, with the invaluable collaboration of Jaroslav Merc from Charles University in Prague ...

3 outburst of Be Star's

We have observed 3 outbursts of Be Star's since 20th november from our eShel spectrographe in full automatic mode from Chile (observation and spectra reduction).

Re: Nova LMC 1968

We were able to make 5 spectra of this nova, but it became too faint to have a spectrum.

The magnitudes given are those obtained from the AAVSO in V and CV bands
