Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Large amounts of circumstellar material accompany lives of most stars at different evolutionary stages. Formation mechanisms of these, often disk-like envelopes are not always clear. The B[e] phenomenon includes the presence of permitted and forbidden line emission and strong infrared (IR) excess in radiation observed from stars of the B and early-A types. It is found in several groups of mostly binary systems. The recently defined FS CMa group is thought to have their gas-and-dust disks due to an earlier strong mass-transfer between the binary system components. FS CMa objects seem to possess longliving disks, whose properties have not been studied well. I will be reviewing the group properties and results of a long-term monitoring program of some of its members with a focus on detected variations of the brightness and spectrum.
