We report the first systematic study to identify and characterize a sample of classical Ae stars in the Galaxy. The spectra of these stars were retrieved from the A-star catalog using the Large sky Area Multi-Object fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) survey. We identified the emission-line stars in this catalog from which 159 are confirmed as classical Ae stars. This increases the sample of known classical Ae stars by about nine times from the previously identified 21 stars. The evolutionary phase of classical Ae stars in this study is confirmed from the relatively small midand far-infrared excess and from their location in the optical color-magnitude diagram. We estimated the spectral type using MILES spectral templates and identified Classical Ae stars beyond A3, for the first time. The prominent emission lines in the spectra within the wavelength range 3700 – 9000 Å are identified and compared with the features present in classical Be stars. The Hα emission strength of the stars in our sample show a steady decrease from late-B type to Ae stars, suggesting that the disc size may be dependent on the spectral type. Interestingly, we noticed emission lines of Feii, Oi and Paschen series in the spectrum of some classical Ae stars. These lines are supposed to fade out by late B-type and should not be present in Ae stars. Further studies, including spectra with better resolution, is needed to correlate these results with the rotation rates of classical Ae stars.

使用 LAMOST DR5 在银河系中识别新的经典 Ae 恒星

我们报告了首次系统性研究,以识别和表征银河系中的经典 Ae 恒星样本。这些恒星的光谱是使用大天空区域多目标光纤光谱望远镜 (LAMOST) 调查从 A 星目录中检索到的。我们确定了该目录中的发射线恒星,其中 159 颗被确认为经典的 Ae 星。这使已知经典 Ae 恒星的样本比先前确定的 21 颗恒星增加了约 9 倍。本研究中经典 Ae 星的演化阶段是从相对较小的中远红外过剩以及它们在光学色等图中的位置得到证实的。我们使用 MILES 光谱模板估计了光谱类型,并首次确定了 A3 以外的经典 Ae 星。3700 – 9000 Å 波长范围内的光谱中突出的发射线被识别出来,并与经典 Be 星中存在的特征进行比较。我们样本中恒星的 Hα 发射强度显示出从晚 B 型到 Ae 型恒星的稳定下降,表明圆盘大小可能取决于光谱类型。有趣的是,我们注意到一些经典 Ae 星光谱中 Feii、Oi 和 Paschen 系列的发射线。这些线应该在晚期 B 型中淡出,不应该出现在 Ae 星中。需要进一步的研究,包括分辨率更高的光谱,将这些结果与经典 Ae 恒星的旋转速率相关联。我们样本中恒星的 Hα 发射强度显示出从晚 B 型到 Ae 型恒星的稳定下降,表明圆盘大小可能取决于光谱类型。有趣的是,我们在一些经典 Ae 星的光谱中注意到了 Feii、Oi 和 Paschen 系列的发射线。这些线应该在晚期 B 型中淡出,不应该出现在 Ae 星中。需要进一步的研究,包括分辨率更高的光谱,将这些结果与经典 Ae 恒星的旋转速率相关联。我们样本中恒星的 Hα 发射强度显示出从晚 B 型到 Ae 型恒星的稳定下降,表明圆盘大小可能取决于光谱类型。有趣的是,我们注意到一些经典 Ae 星光谱中 Feii、Oi 和 Paschen 系列的发射线。这些线应该在晚期 B 型中淡出,不应该出现在 Ae 星中。需要进一步的研究,包括分辨率更高的光谱,将这些结果与经典 Ae 恒星的旋转速率相关联。
