Symbiotic Stars Catalog

This database table contains a catalog of confirmed and suspected symbiotic stars. The list includes 188 symbiotic stars as well as 30 objects suspected of being symbiotic. For each star, basic observational material is presented: coordinates, V and K magnitudes, ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), X-ray and radio observations. Also listed are the spectral type of the cool component, the maximum ionization potential observed, references to finding charts, spectra, classifications and recent (as of 2000) papers discussing the physical parameters and nature of each object. This table does NOT contain the information on orbital photometric ephemerides and orbital elements of known symbiotic binaries, pulsational periods for symbiotic Miras, Hipparcos parallaxes and information about outbursts and flickering that is contained in the printed version of the catalog (see Tables 3-7 in the paper for this material). This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2005 based on 4 CDS tables (table1.dat, table1b.dat, table2.dat, table2b.dat) from the directory J/A+AS/146/407/. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
