Fundamental parameters of Be stars located in the seismology fields of COROT
In preparation for the COROT space mission, we determined thefundamental parameters (spectral type, temperature, gravity, V sin i) ofthe Be stars observable by COROT in its seismology fields (64 Be stars).We applied a careful and detailed modeling of the stellar spectra,taking into account the veiling caused by the envelope, as well as thegravitational darkening and stellar flattening due to rapid rotation.Evolutionary tracks for fast rotators were used to derive stellar massesand ages. The derived parameters will be used to select Be stars assecondary targets (i.e. observed for 5 consecutive months) and short-runtargets of the COROT mission. Furthermore, we note that the main part ofour stellar sample falls in the second half of the main sequence lifetime, and that in most cases the luminosity class of Be stars isinaccurate in characterizing their evolutionary status.

The Identification of New Be Stars in GAUDI
The Ground-based Asteroseismology Uniform Database Interface (GAUDI) isthe result of the preparatory work performed for the COROT satellite. Inthe data available in GAUDI we discovered 17 B-type stars that showemission in their Balmer lines and were not known to display suchemission before, including at least 16 nonsupergiant ones. We thusreclassify those stars as Be stars. These 17 new Be stars increase thenumber of Be stars in the field of view of COROT by ~25%, which isimportant for the target selection of the mission. Moreover, ~70% of thediscovered Be stars are of late subtypes. Be stars have been mostlyfound among early subtypes until now, but this could be due to anobservational bias. Finally, one of the discovered stars is either aslowly rotating shell Be star or a Herbig Be star with a low vsini,which makes this star especially interesting.Based on GAUDI, the data archive and access system of the ground-basedasteroseismology programme of the COROT mission. The GAUDI system ismaintained at LAEFF (http://ines.laeff.esa.es/corot/). LAEFF is part ofthe Space Science Division of INTA.

Rotational Velocity Determinations for 164 Be and B Stars
Rotational velocities, v sin i, have been obtained for 96 Be and 68normal B stars by measurements of the FWHM of the He I lambda-4471 line(for spectral types B0-B4.5) and Mg II lambda-4481 (for types B5-B9.5).The consistency of various published sources is examined. (SECTION:Stars)

Radial-velocity measurements. V - Ground support of the HIPPARCOS satellite observation program
The paper presents data on 1070 radial velocity measurements of starsdistributed in 39 fields measuring 4 deg x 4 deg. The PPO series ofFehrenbach et al. (1987) and Duflot et al. (1990) is continued using theFehrenbach objective prism method.
