Abstract: |
We present a case study and first results of the 3 filter narrow-band Δ a
photometric system to detect B[e] stars in an efficient way. One filter measures the
flux at 5200 Å where several Fe II emission lines are located. On the basis of available
spectra, we investigated the expected area in the diagnostic tool of the Δ a system, the
so-called normality line, where these objects are located. They are well separated from
all other known non-standard stars in the corresponding Teff (color) region. The first
results of our photometric survey in the Magellanic Clouds are very promising and
show the high potential of Δ a photometry to significantly contribute to this research
field. |
