Abstract

The spectra of symbiotic stars generally display many emission lines seen in moderate to high-excitation planetary nebulae, but are superposed upon a strong continuum characteristic of a cool star, typically of type M. Furthermore, the spatial distribution of symbiotics has been noted to resemble that of planetaries. These similarities suggest that the symbiotic stars and planetary nebulae might have some relationship (causal or otherwise) or that they might arise from similar progenitors.
