Abstract
ABSTRACTObservations of a group of S‐type symbiotic stars are presented: Hen 828, Hen 905, Hen 1103, Hen 1213, KX TrA (Cn 1‐2), AE Ara (PC 18), AS 255, AS 270, AS 289, Y CrA, AS 304, AS 316, AS 327, and CD −43°14304. The observations were made in three different epochs of observation: 1987, 1991, and 1995, except for Y CrA, which was observed in 1990. Several parameters are obtained for each object: spectral types of the late components; distances derived from these spectral types; interstellar reddening as determined from the Balmer decrement, considering optical depth effects; electron temperatures and densities; helium abundances, also determined considering optical depth effects; and characteristics of the hot components.It has been found that Hen 828 and Hen 1103 were possibly having an outburst in 1991; the same could be true for AS 270 in 1995 and CD −43°14304 in 1991. Another interesting object is Hen 905, which is surrounded by a nebulosity that could be a ring, reaching a distance of about 2′, with emission mainly in Hα and O vi λ6825.
