The influence of the envelope in the variations of transitory type Be stars The contribution of the stellar envelope to variations oftransitory-type Be stars, which are alternately of types B and Be, isinvestigated. The Rojas-Herman classification is applied to thequantification of long-term stellar variation for a sample of Be starsbrighter than magnitude 7, and compared with the spectral properties ofthese stars. A relation is derived between the equivalent widths of theH-alpha and H-beta lines and the stellar U-B index. The U-B index isthen calibrated as a function of the Balmer discontinuity in order toseparate the contributions of the star and its envelope to the emission.The separate U-B indices derived for the star, which are characterizedby long-term variations, and the envelope, which is sensitive toshort-term variations, are observed to be additive, implying that theobserved flux is a convolution of the fluxes emitted by the star and itsenvelope.
