Abstract

We report on searching for Classical B-type emission-line (CBe) stars from the first data release (DR1) of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST; also named the Guoshoujing Telescope). A total of 192 (12 known CBes) objects were identified as CBe candidates with prominent He~I~λ4387, He~I~λ4471, and Mg~II~λ4481 absorption lines, as well as Hβ~λ4861 and Hα~λ6563 emission lines. These candidates significantly increases current CBe sample of about 8%. Most of the CBe candidates are distributed at the Galactic Anti-Center due to the LAMOST observing strategy. Only two of CBes are in the star clusters with ages of 15.8 and 398~Myr, respectively.
