| contents | Classical Be (CBe) stars are rapidly rotating B-type stars with Balmer emission lines that originated from the decretion disks surrounding them in their spectra. Accounting for $\sim$20% of all B-type stars, most CBe stars are thought to form through mass and angular momentum transfer from their companions. It follows that in most close CBe star binaries, the companions are expected to be post-main-sequence stars rather than main-sequence (MS) stars. Hitherto, $\sim$100 CBe star binaries have been identified, the majority of which are Be/X-ray binaries. As expected, none of the others have indeed been confirmed as CBe+MS binary stars. To further study and verify the origin of CBe stars, identifying additional CBe star binaries is indispensable. In this study, we report 504 CBe stars identified using data from Data Release 12 of the Large sky Area Multi-Object fiber Spectroscopic Telescope. Among these, 141 are newly identified and 14 exhibiting radial velocity variations are identified as CBe star binaries. Besides, 60 CBe stars with high normalized unit weight error (RUWE) but not confirmed by dynamics are proposed as potential CBe star binaries. We also find that 34 CBe stars are potential cluster members. By calculating peculiar velocities, 37 runaway stars are identified with peculiar velocities ranging from $\sim$40 km s$^{-1}$ to $\sim$101 km s$^{-1}$. |
