The study, however, suggests evidence supporting the idea that these stars might be part of triple star systems. Thus, introducing a new perspective in stellar science. What are Be Stars? In astronomy, Be stars are of the B-type and exhibit emission lines in their spectra. These lines suggest the presence of a circumstellar gas disk around the star. Traditionally, massive Be stars were…
