The FUSE satellite revealed the first emission line spectrum of β Pictoris. Broad emission lines due to highly ionized species, C III and O VI, are well detected above the very low continuum level. The mere presence of such lines in β Pictoris spectrum is evidence of a complex stellar environment, including dense and hot regions, within a few stellar radii of the photosphere. Based on the intepretation of the apparent structure of the lines profiles, it has been concluded that accretion and solar-like activity are the most likely processes for the gas heating. We present the results we obtained with a model including a solar-like extended chromosphere-corona complex and a weak wind.
