Indication of the High Mass-Transfer Ratio in S-type Symbiotic Binaries

Abstract

By modelling H${}^0$ column densities in eclipsing S-type symbiotic stars EG And and SY Mus, we derived the wind velocity profile and the corresponding mass-loss rate from their giants. Our analysis revealed a strong enhancement of the wind at the orbital plane.
