We have identified a first group of 33 new candidates for symbiotic stars (SySt) of the
accreting-only variety among the 600 255 stars so far observed by the GALactic …

Accretion of mass onto a white dwarf (WD) in a binary system can lead to stellar explosions.
If a WD accretes from stellar wind of a distant evolved giant in a symbiotic binary, it can …

A new fiber‐fed spectrograph was installed at the 60 cm telescope of the Stará Lesná
Observatory. The article presents tests of its performance (spectral resolution, signal‐to …

Context. The structure of the wind from the cool giants in symbiotic binaries carries important
information for understanding the wind mass transfer to their white dwarf companions, its …

Context. AG Peg is known as the slowest symbiotic nova, which experienced its nova-like
outburst around 1850. After 165 yr, during June of 2015, it erupted again showing …

Variations of the emission lines in the spectrum of the yellow symbiotic star AG Draconis (AG
Dra) have been studied for over 14 yr (1997–2011), using more than 500 spectra obtained …

High-dispersion spectroscopic observations are used to refine orbital elements for the
symbiotic binary CH Cyg. The current radial velocities, added to a previously published 13 …

Jets have been detected in only a few symbiotic binaries to date, and CH Cyg is one of them.
In 2001, a non-relativistic jet was detected in CH Cyg for the first time in X-rays. We carried …

We present photometric and spectral observations of the symbiotic star ZZ CMi. We detect
intranight variability—flickering and smooth variations in U band. The amplitude of the …

We present new multicolour UBVRcIc photometric observations of symbiotic stars, EG And, Z
And, BF Cyg, CH Cyg, CI Cyg, V1016 Cyg, V1329 Cyg, AG Dra, RS Oph, AG Peg, AX Per …
