Abstract

Be stars are defined as non-supergiant B stars that show or have shown at least once emission in their Balmer lines. This emission is due to the presence of a circumstellar disk built from matter ejected from the star through outbursts. We present the results on the determination of the fundamental parameters of the faint Be stars newly discovered in the exofields (IR1/LRA1) of CoRoT thanks to spectra obtained with the multi-object spectrograph FLAMES/GIRAFFE mounted at ESO-VLT/UT2. The determination of the fundamental parameters is necessary to the seismic modeling of Be stars.The fundamental parameters are determined by fitting our spectra with synthetic models taking account for non-LTE effects and fast rotational effects.
