The symbiotic binary AG Dra regularly undergoes quiescent and active stages which consist of several outbursts repeating with about 360d interval. The recent outburst activity of AG Dra started by the minor outburst in the late spring of…
AG Draconis is a strongly interacting binary system which manifests characteristic symbiotic activity of alternating quiescent and active stages. The latter ones consist of the series of individual outbursts repeating at about a one-year…
AG Draconis is a bright symbiotic binary consisting of a white dwarf and a pulsating cool giant. Moreover, it is the most intense X-ray source among symbiotic stars, and one of the best representatives of the super-soft X-ray objects. The…
Variations of the emission lines in the spectrum of the yellow symbiotic star AG Dra have been studied for over 14 years (1997 - 2011), using more than 500 spectra obtained on the 1.5-metre telescope at Tartu Observatory, Estonia. The time…
Symbiotic binary AG~Draconis (AG~Dra) has an well-established outburst behavior based on an extensive observational history. Usually, the system undergoes a 9--15~yr period of quiescence with a constant average energy emitted, during which…
We analyze an optical light curve of the symbiotic system AG Draconis covering the last 120 years of its history. During the first 32 years the system was in a quiescence state. Around the year 1922 the star's quiescence luminosity…
The visual magnitude profile of the symbiotic system Z And during the 1984-1986 activity period appears double peaked and the flux intensity is low compared to outbursts in other epochs. The detailed modeling of the observed spectra,…
Symbiotic Binaries contain a white dwarf accreting material from a red giant star through a wind. We present the results of a search for outbursts from Symbiotic Binaries using photometric data obtained using the GOTO all-sky survey taken…
Symbiotic stars are strongly interacting binaries, consisting of a white dwarf and a cool giant, mainly of spectral type M. AG Draconis belongs to a less numerous group of the yellow symbiotic systems, as the cool component in this binary…
We present some results of an ongoing study of the long-term spectroscopic variations of AG Dra, a prototypical eruptive symbiotic system. We discuss the effects of the environment and orbital modulation in this system and some of the…
AIMS: We investigated the optical variability of the symbiotic binary FN Sgr, with photometric monitoring during $\simeq$55 years and with a high-cadence Kepler light curve lasting 81 days. METHODS: The data obtained in the V and I bands…
MWC 560 and other peculiar symbiotic binary, CH Cyg, have been classified as the prototypes of the new subclass of symbiotic systems - propellers, with accretion onto a magnetic white dwarf being the source of activity. The companion of the…
Active phases of some symbiotic binaries survive for a long time from years to decades. The accretion process onto a white dwarf (WD) sustaining long-lasting activity, and sometimes leading to collimated ejection, is not well understood. We…
Symbiotic stars often contain white dwarfs with quasi-steady shell burning on their surfaces. However, in most symbiotics, the origin of this burning is unclear. In symbiotic slow novae, however, it is linked to a past thermonuclear…
We describe the first results from a program of multi-wavelength monitoring of symbiotic binary stars in outburst. The prototypical symbiotic star Z Andromedae was observed extensively at radio, optical, far-UV, and X-ray wavelengths during…
Symbiotic binary stars typically consist of a white dwarf (WD) that accretes material from the wind of a companion red giant. Orbital periods for these binaries are on the order of years, and their relatively small optical outbursts tend to…
Z Andromedae is a prototype of classical symbiotic variable stars. It is characterized by alternating of quiescent and active stages, the later ones are accompanied by changes in both photometry and spectral characteristics of this object.…
We report the first result from our survey of rapid variability in symbiotic binaries: the discovery of a persistent oscillation at P=1682.6 +- 0.6 s in the optical emission from the prototype symbiotic, Z Andromedae. The oscillation was…
We present the results of our photoelectric $UBV$ observations of the yellow symbiotic star LT Del over 2010-2018. The binary system LT Del, which consists of a bright K giant and a compact hot star with a temperature of $\sim$100 000 K,…
AG Dra is one of a small group of low metallicity S-type symbiotic binaries with K-type giants that undergoes occasional short-term outbursts of unknown origin. Our aim is to study the behavior of the white dwarf during an outburst using…
