Abstract

We describe a technique to identify Be stars in open clusters using Stroemgren b, y, and narrowband H{alpha} photometry. We first identify the B-type stars of the cluster using a theoretical isochrone fit to the (b-y, y) color-magnitude diagram. The strongest Be stars are easily identified in a (b-y, y-H{alpha}) color-color diagram, but those with weaker H{alpha} emission (classified as possible Be star detections) may be confused with evolved or foreground stars. Here we present such photometry plus H{alpha} spectroscopy of members of the cluster NGC 3766 to demonstrate the accuracy of our technique.
