Abstract
This review has two parts. The first one is devoted to the Barbier–Chalonge–Divan (BCD) spectrophotometric system, also known as the Paris spectral classification system. Although the BCD system has been applied and is still used for all stellar objects from O to F spectral types, the present account mainly concerns normal and ‘active’ B-type stars. The second part treats topics related to stellar rotation, considered one of the key phenomena determining the structure and evolution of stars. The first part is eminently observational. In contrast, the second part deals with observational aspects related to stellar rotation but also recalls some supporting or basic theoretical concepts that may help better understand the gains and shortcomings of today’s existent interpretation of stellar data.
