Scientific paper

A model for light variations in Be stars where changes in the mass loss rate occur in the form of shell ejections is presented. Optical variations of the order of tenths of magnitude on a timescale ranging from days to several weeks are predicted by the model. A correlation between Be/X ray binaries optical light variations and X ray activity is investigated. An application to the Be/X ray binary A0535+26/HDE 245770 is presented.
