Red Be stars in the Magellanic Clouds?
  We revisit the subject of Be star candidates towards the Magellanic Clouds,
previously studied by the authors using SPM4 proper motions. We obtain GAIA DR2
parallaxes and proper motions for 2357 and 994 LMC and SMC Be candidates,
respectively. Parallaxes and proper motions vs. color V-I easily reveal the
presence of the redder galactic contaminant foreground, as concluded in our
previous work, but this time we do find a few red Be stars candidates
consistent with being true Magellanic objects. A membership assessment to each
Magellanic Cloud is done for each Be candidate, based on the distribution of
their parallaxes and proper motions. From a compilation of published catalogues
of spectroscopically confirmed Be stars, we found that 40 (LMC) and 64 (SMC) of
these Be candidates, are in fact Be stars. Near infrared IRSF JHKs magnitudes
were obtained for about 70% the Be stars candidates with GAIA DR2 astrometric
data. Mid-infrared SAGE IRAC 3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0 $\mu$m magnitudes were
obtained for about 85% as well. 6 LMC and 7 SMC confirmed Be stars show
optical, near- or mid-infrared colours redder than what has been typically
measured for Classical Be stars. Several of the Be candidates follow those
redder-than-expected colours distributions suggesting the existence of more red
Magellanic Be stars.
