Abstract:
We present a new catalogue of symbiotic stars. In our list we include
188 symbiotic stars as well as 30 objects suspected of being
symbiotic. For each star, we present basic observational material:
coordinates, V and K magnitudes, ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR),
X-ray and radio observations. We also list the spectral type of the
cool component, the maximum ionization potential observed, references
to finding charts, spectra, classifications and recent papers
discussing the physical parameters and nature of each object.
Moreover, we present the orbital photometric ephemerides and orbital
elements of known symbiotic binaries, pulsational periods for
symbiotic Miras, Hipparcos parallaxes and information about outbursts
and flickering.

Note (1): Positions taken from radio VLA positions (Ivison et al.,
1995MNRAS.273..517I 1995MNRAS.273..517I, Seaquist & Taylor, 1990ApJ...349..313S 1990ApJ...349..313S, Seaquist
et al., 1984ApJ...284..202S 1984ApJ...284..202S) if available, and if not from the SIMBAD
database but corrected in a few cases were obvious mistakes have been
spotted. If position was taken from somewhere else then comment is
given in table2.dat.
Note (2): If two IR types are given for one object, we supply references
to both estimates in the notes.
Note (3): The number of spectra can be readily obtained from SIMBAD
(http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/Simbad) and the spectra can be obtained
from the IUE data archives (http://nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov/ndads).
Note (4): Plus (+) means a detection; minus (-) means that an object was
observed but not detected and that only an upper limit is available.
Most of the detections and upper limits came from ROSAT and were
reported in Bickert et al. (1997, in Supersoft X-Ray Sources, Greiner
J. (ed.). Springer, Berlin, p. 225) but some have also been observed
by Einstein (Allen, 1981MNRAS.197..739A 1981MNRAS.197..739A), EXOSAT and ASCA.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): Since the blue and visual spectral regions are often contaminated
by the circumstellar nebula and/or the hot component, we have given
priority to estimates made in the near-IR region and, in the case of
multiple estimates, to those made at quiescence and/or near to
inferior conjunction of the cool giant. The estimates based on the TiO
bands are separated from those based on CO 2.3µm bands by "/".
Also, if the cool component was reported to behave as a Mira (i.e. if
Mira-like pulsations have been detected or the object's position in
the near-IR/IRAS colour diagram coincides with the region occupied by
Mira variables Kenyon & Fernandez-Castro, 1987AJ.....93..938K 1987AJ.....93..938K,
Whitelock, 1988IAUCo.103...47W 1988IAUCo.103...47W) then it is noted in this column.
Note (2): Detections or upper limits are given. In parentheses, the wavelength
of observation is reported. If more than one detection has been
reported, only one is included and the priority is given to the most
extensive radio survey of symbiotics at 3.6 cm (Seaquist et al.,
1993ApJ...410..260S 1993ApJ...410..260S). Other extensive surveys of symbiotic stars which
were searched for radio detection include Seaquist & Taylor
(990ApJ...349..313S), Wright & Allen (1978MNRAS.184..893W 1978MNRAS.184..893W), Seaquist
et al. (1984ApJ...284..202S 1984ApJ...284..202S), Ivison et al. (1991MNRAS.249..374I 1991MNRAS.249..374I),
Ivison et al. (1995MNRAS.273..517I 1995MNRAS.273..517I).
Note (3): The fluxes are taken from pointed observations, if available,
Kenyon et al. (1988AJ.....95.1817K 1988AJ.....95.1817K) or from survey observations as
listed in SIMBAD. If, for some object, there was no report of
observations in either of the above two sources, but IRAS fluxes were
available from somewhere else, then the reference to reported
observations is given in the notes. The IRAS number is listed in Table
8 (which contains different object names for the symbiotic and
suspected symbiotic stars). If the number is not there then the
reference to the reported observations is given in the section
containing comments.
Note (4): Subject the reference was noted for:
fc - finding chart,
spc - optical spectrum,
class - classification,
parm - the latest or the most extensive and up-to-date discussion of
an object.
