Symbiotic Stars Catalog with 188 Confirmed and 30 Suspected Objects

A 2005 catalog from NASA HEASARC contains 188 confirmed and 30 suspected symbiotic stars. For each object, it provides coordinates, magnitudes, multi-wavelength observations, spectral types, and references to key papers. The table was created based on data from the CDS directory J/A+AS/146/407/.

Use Cases

• Classifying symbiotic star candidates based on multi-wavelength observational data.
• Analyzing correlations between spectral types and observed ionization potentials.
• Identifying objects for follow-up study using the provided coordinates and finding chart references.
• Training machine learning models for stellar object classification using the catalog's confirmed and suspected labels.

Strengths

• Catalog includes 188 confirmed symbiotic stars, providing a substantial sample.
• Lists 30 suspected objects, useful for discovery and validation studies.
• Provides multi-wavelength observational data (UV, IR, X-ray, radio) per object.
• Includes references to spectra, classifications, and recent papers discussing physical parameters.

Limitations

• Excludes orbital ephemerides, parallaxes, and outburst information contained in the printed version.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
