GAS DISTRIBUTION, KINEMATICS, AND EXCITATION STRUCTURE IN THE DISKS AROUND THE CLASSICAL Be STARS β CANIS MINORIS AND ζ TAURI

Kraus initiated this project, wrote the VLTI and CHARA observing proposals, conducted the observations, performed the reduction of the VLTI and CHARA data, and developed the gas kinematics modelling code that was used to fit the data. The phase jumps observed in the VLTI differential phases near line centre were a major challenge within the modelling. Kraus had the idea that these signatures could correspond to the transition from the first to the second visibility lobe, which was confirmed by detailed modelling carried out by Kraus. Kraus wrote the first draft of the paper and is the leading author.
