Nature and Evolutionary State Majority of (all?) objects – Main-Sequence and after Known Binary systems: 1.MWC 623: B2 V + K2 III (Zickgraf 2001, A&A, 375, 122) 2.CI Cam: B[e] sg + black hole? (Miroshnichenko et al. 2002, A&A, 390, 627) 3.AS 381: B1 I + K II-III (Miroshnichenko et al. 2002, A&A, 383, 171) 4.V669 Cep: B5 V + K (Miroshnichenko et al. 2002, A&A, 388, 563) 5.HD 327083: B1 I + F I (Miroshnichenko et al. 2003, A&A, 406, 673) Suspected Binaries: 1.MWC 342 (Miroshnichenko & Corporon 1999, A&A, 349, 126) 2.MWC 657 (Miroshnichenko et al. 2000, A&AS, 147, 5) 3.HD 85567 & Hen 1398 (Miroshnichenko et al. 2001, A&A, 371, 600) 4.MWC 300 (Miroshnichenko et al. 2004, A&A, 417, 731) Objects with a Controversial State: 1.HD 45677 & HD 50138 – suggested Herbig Ве stars
25
Enlarging the Group 1.Stars of the main group are relatively bright V ~ 9 12 mag, K ~ 3 7 mag, [12 m]~ 0 3.5 mag. The IRAS sensitivity limit : ~ 6 mag 2. Large range of the luminosities 3. Release of the deep sky surveys in 2003: 2MASS (JHK) and USNO-B1.0 (5 non-standard optical bands) Basis for a new search for B[e]WD in the IRAS catalogs
26
Search Strategy & Difficulties Selection criteria Color-indices [12] [25] & [25] [60] Close positions in the IRAS & 2MASS catalogs Selection of the brightest 2MASS object in the IRAS error box Positional coincidence in the 2MASS & USNO catalogs Difficulties Selection criteria are only positional & photometric Separation of reddened hot stars from cool stars Confusion with RV Tau stars
27
New Photometric Criterion - RV Tau; + - cool stars B[e]WD & new candidates
28
Search Results 4500 IR sources was found in the B[e]WD box 60 objects satisfying the selection criteria were found among 2500 objects with b 50 20 objects are thrown out after comparison with dusty RV Tau stars Initial observations of 40 B[e]WD candidates have been started: 1.Multicolor optical photometry 2.Optical spectroscopy of low- and high-resolution 3.Low-resolution IR spectroscopy
29
Results of the Initial Observations September 2003 – June 2004 Photometry (WBVR, UBVRI) - 10 objects Spectroscopy DSO : 3800 5600 A, R~1800 – 10 objects BТА, 6-m : 5200 6600 A, R~60000 – 2 objects CFHT : H , SiII 6347, Na D, R~100000 – 11 objects Lick Obs. : 0.8 2.5 m, R~1300 – 7 objects NASA IRTF : 3 – 14 m, R~100 – 2 objects It is shown that 8 objects are indeed B/A stars 2 new emission-line objects have been found

Nature and Evolutionary State of B[e]WD Single stars? Too high mass loss rates in non-luminous objects (>10 -6 M yr -1 for 3 10 M stars) Binaries? More likely, but the secondary detection rate is low Not pre-main-sequence objects – lack of cold dust and association with star-forming regions Not post-AGB objects – lack of cold dust and too high gravity
35
Possible Binary Parameters RY Sct: orbital period – 11.1 day masses – 8–52 M Sp.T. – OB + OB distance – 2 kpc Angular size of the circumbinary dusty disk – 1 arcsec HDE 327083: orbital period – 56.5 or 173.5 days masses - ~25 M (total) Sp.T. – B1 + F distance – 1.5 0.5 kpc GG Car (eclipsing binary): orbital period – 31 day

Conclusions A new large group (60 objects to date) of hot stars with circumstellar dust is discovered Dust formation seems to be either on-going or has stopped recently Objects: either binary systems undergoing a rapid mass exchange or single stars with unusually strong winds Investigation of the group may lead to new ideas for evolutionary theories of single/binary stars and refinement of our understanding of dust formation
