Thanks to advances in digital spectroscopy, new types of pulsating B  stars have been discovered. The pulsations can be understood in terms  of the recent revision of metal opacities, but the effects of rapid  rotation and magnetic fields need further study. Observations in the  UV and X-ray regions demonstrate that many B and Be stars show other  activity, besides pulsation which is not yet understood. The reason  for the enhanced mass loss in Be stars is a question which dominates  the Symposium and which remains unanswered, although it is surely to  be found in activity at or near the photosphere coupled with rotation.  It is shown that the geometry of the circumstellar envelopes around Be  stars is indeed a flattened disk as they can now be optically  resolved. The variability of radiatively-driven winds from O and B  stars are likely related to the rotation of the star. This underlines  the central theme of the book: that the various phenomena seen in  these stars cannot be studied in isolation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1994-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792330455\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1030-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 550\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398554480780,"sku":"9780792330455","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792330455.jpg?v=1755437282","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792330455","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
