Abstract:
We report the first systematic search for Be star candidates in the
direction of the Galactic Bulge. We present the full catalogue, give a
brief description of the stellar variability seen, and show some light
curve examples. We searched for stars matching specific criteria of
magnitude, color and variability in the I band. Our search was
conducted on the 48 OGLE II fields of the Galactic Bulge.
Description:
This search has resulted in 29053 Be star candidates listed in
Table 4. 198 of these stars show periodic light variations and are
listed in Table 5. Nearly 1500 stars in this final sample are almost
certainly Be stars, providing an ideal sample for spectroscopic
multi-object follow-up studies.

Note on table4.dat: The first 1488 stars in this catalogue are those
called the most certain Be star candidates.
Note on table5.dat: Some of these periodic Be star candidates show several
periods in the periodogram. For the moment we give only the
fundamental period obtained for each star.
