Infrared Photometry Kenyon, Scott J. Abstract This paper reports infrared photometry for a sample of symbiotic binaries and K-M comparison stars. Measured CO absorption-band strengths of the cool components in symbiotic stars generally are comparable to those of single red giant and bright giant stars, but it is difficult to determine the luminosity classes of these objects from their photometric CO indices. The 12 μm excesses observed in symbiotics require their cool components to lose mass more rapidly than do single red giant stars. Thus, mass-loss rates derived for red giants in close binary systems may not be accurate estimates for mass loss in single red giants.
