Taking a break: paused accretion in the symbiotic binary RT Cru

A. Pujol, G. J. M. Luna, K. Mukai +10

Symbiotic binaries sometimes hide their symbiotic nature for significant periods of time. There is mounting observational evidence that in those symbiotics that are powered solely…

Detecting prolonged activity minima in binary stars. The case of Ret

M. Flores, M. Jaque Arancibia, R. V. Ibañez Bustos +7

Context. It is well known that from 1645 to 1715 solar activity was notably low and the number of sunspots was extremely reduced. This epoch is known as the Maunder Minimum (MM). T…

RAMSES II - RAMan Search for Extragalactic Symbiotic Stars. Project concept, commissioning, and early results from the science verification phase

R. Angeloni, D. R. Gonçalves, S. Akras +16

Symbiotic stars (SySts) are long-period interacting binaries composed of a hot compact star, an evolved giant star, and a tangled network of gas and dust nebulae. They represent un…

Dramatic change in the boundary layer in the symbiotic recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis

G. J. M. Luna, K. Mukai, J. L. Sokoloski +6

A sudden increase in the rate at which material reaches the most internal part of an accretion disk, i.e. the boundary layer, can change its structure dramatically. We have witness…

Reticuli binary system: A puzzling chromospheric activity pattern

M. Flores, C. Saffe, A. Buccino +4

We perform, for the first time, a detailed long-term activity study of the binary system Ret. We use all available HARPS spectra obtained between the years 2003 and 2016. We bu…

X-ray, UV, and optical observations of the accretion disk and boundary layer in the symbiotic star RT Cru

G. J. M. Luna, K. Mukai, J. L. Sokoloski +8

Compared to mass transfer in cataclysmic variables, the nature of accretion in symbiotic binaries in which red giants transfer material to white dwarfs (WDs) has been difficult to…
