Fundamental Parameters of Be Stars Seen Equator-On

Abstract
The geometric deformation, as well as the non-uniform surface gravity and temperature distributions induced by the fast rotation, are taken into account to determine the fundamental parameters of 10 Be stars seen nearly equator-on. The stars occur in the first half of the main sequence evolutionary span, which suggests that their fast rotation is related to initial formation conditions, rather than to evolutionary effects.
