Abstract
We present the results of a survey of stellar winds in 62 Be and 43 normal B stars in spectral types B0 to B5 and luminosity classes V-III. We find that in general the wind absorption seen in the resonance lines of C IV and Si IV in Be stars is the result of the superposed absorption from multiple shortward-shifted discrete absorption components. These components are observed in 63% of our Be stars, and are not observed in the normal B stars, confirming the result of Henrichs (1984).Keywords
