Abstract

Using the GR model, we analyze the UV Mg II resonance lines in the spectra of 20 Be stars of different spectral subtypes, in order to detect the presence of satellite or discrete absorption components. The values of some physical parameters -- rotational, radial and random velocities, as well as the FWHM and the absorbed energy, as a function of the effective temperature for the studied stars are determined.
