(Abridged) Classical Be stars occasionally transition from having a gaseous circumstellar disk (''Be phase'') to a state in which all observational evidence for the presence of these disks disappears (''normal B-star phase''). We present one of the most comprehensive spectropolarimetric views to date of such a transition for two Be stars, pi Aquarii and 60 Cygni. 60 Cyg's disk loss episode was characterized by a monotonic decrease in emission strength over a time-scale of 1000 days, consistent with the viscous time-scale of the disk, assuming alpha is 0.14. pi Aqr's disk loss was episodic in nature and occurred over a time-scale of 2440 days. An observed time lag between the behavior of the polarization and H-alpha in both stars indicates the disk clearing proceeded in an ''inside-out'' manner. We determine the position angle of the intrinsic polarization to be 166.7 +/- 0.1 degrees for pi Aqr and 107.7 +/- 0.4 degrees for 60 Cyg, and model the observed polarization during the quiescent diskless phase of each star to determine the interstellar polarization along the line of sight. Minor outbursts observed during the quiescent phase of each star shared similar lifetimes as those previously reported for mu Cen, suggesting that the outbursts represent the injection and subsequent viscous dissipation of individual blobs of material into the inner circumstellar environments of these stars. We also observe deviations from the mean intrinsic polarization position angle during polarization outbursts in each star, indicating deviations from axisymmetry. We propose that these deviations might be indicative of the injection (and subsequent circularization) of new blobs into the inner disk, either in the plane of the bulk of the disk material or in a slightly inclined (non-coplanar) orbit.

Spatial variations of the SrI 4607Åscattering polarization signals at subgranular scale observed with ZIMPOL at GREGOR telescope
Sr I 4607 γ谱线显示了可见太阳光谱中最强的散射偏振信号之一。这些信号的幅度预计会在粒度空间尺度上变化。这种变化可能是由于磁场强度和取向的变化(汉勒效应)以及由于等离子体性质的空间和时间变化。测量这种极化信号的空间变化将使我们能够研究亚晶区磁场的性质。但是,观测是具有挑战性的,因为同时需要高空间分辨率和高光谱偏振灵敏度。为了在颗粒尺度上测量这些空间变化的目的,我们用苏黎世成像偏振仪(ZIMPOL)在格里戈尔太阳望远镜上进行了分光偏振测量,在太阳盘面上的不同边缘距离。我们的研究结果表明,在颗粒尺度上,在每$μ$,从0.2到0.8,在Sr I 4607线的散射线偏振信号的空间变化。偏振信号幅度和连续强度之间的相关性在统计上意味着散射偏振在颗粒区域比在晶间通道中更高。
