Evolution of the circumstellar disc of alpha Eri

The Halpha line emission formation region in the circumstellar disc of alpha Eri is: a) extended with a steep outward matter density decline during low H$α$ emission phases; b) less extended with rather constant density distribution during the strong Halpha emission. The long-term variation of the Halpha emission has a 14-15 year cyclic B-Be phase transition. The disc formation time scales agree with the viscous decretion model. The time required for the disc dissipation is longer than expected from the viscous disc model.

The Long-Term H$α$ Emission Line Variation in $α$ Eri

The long-term variation of the H$α$ line in $α$ Eri has 14-15 years cyclic \bbe phase transitions. The disc formation time scales, interpreted as the periods during which the H$α$ line emission increases from zero to its maximum, agree with the viscous decretion model. On the other hand, the time required for the disc dissipation ranges from 6 to 12 years which questions the viscous disc model predictions.
