Description
IPHAS (the INT/WTC Photometric Ha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane,
www.iphas.org) is a survey carried out, in H-α, r and i filters,
with the Wide Field Camera on the Isaac Newton Telescope in La Palma.
Besides the photometric survey, the IPHAS collaboration is conducting
follow up spectroscopic observations of selected emission line objects
detected from the photometry. Most of the observed targets turned out to
be classical Be stars. In this work we present the analysis of about 60
classical Be stars spectra, obtained with the INT and NOT telescopes in
La Palma, by means of the BCD (Barbier-Chalonge-Divan) classification
system. We have developed a semi-authomatic procedure, based on the BCD
techniques, to obtain the physical parameters of classical Be stars,
including effective temperature, luminosity class, interstellar
reddening and absolute magnitude. We compare our results with those
obtained for the same stellar sample with standard spectroscopic
techniques by Raddi et al. (MNRAS, in press), in order to validate our
procedure. Our final goal is to apply our technique to a much larger
sample of Be star spectra through the northern galactic plane, in order
to obtain their physical parameters and use them to trace the galactic
structure.
