Intermediate helium stars are defined by

nHe/nH being the number ratio of He over H. The upper bound which separates the intermediates from the extremes is well-defined (see Sect. 7), whereas the lower bound is rather soft.

The first intermediate helium star discovered was Sigma Ori E (Greenstein and Wallerstein, 1956). Since then, 23 intermediates with V ≤ 1lm have been found (see the list of Walborn, 1983 and also the Annex), mostly through surveys such as that by McConnell et al. (1970) and McConnell (1972). (To this list, the newly discovered object SB 939, Langhans and Heber, 1985, should be added.) It is anticipated that a substantial fraction has as yet escaped detection. The spectral type centres around B2V while nHe/nH is typically of the order of unity.
