Symbiotic Stars

[Mark SW]

I recently read a short description about HARO 2-36 (1-36)(Deep Sky Wonders Sue French) which is a close binary system containing a cool giant and hot dwarf with high temperatures.
I did some research and came up with
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-data_query?bibcode=2000A&AS..146..407B&link_type=SIMBAD
it list a 188 confirmed? Symbiotic and 29 suspected stars.
I realize this is probably not 99% of members forte but can anyone point me in a new direction.
Thank you
Mark

If you're looking for a technical analysis and comprehensive model of Haro 1-36, take a look at the 2007 paper "The symbiotic star H1-36. A composite model of line and continuum spectra from radio to ultraviolet. (http://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full/2007/33/aa7526-07/aa7526-07.html)"

The 1983 paper "The symbiotic star H1-36 (http://cdsads.u-strasbg.fr/full/1983MNRAS.204..113A)" by David Allen may be the earliest in-depth study. The abstract reads "Since its discovery by Haro (1952), the star H1-36 has been catalogued as a planetary nebula despite its extremely high-excitation emission-line spectrum (e.g., forbidden Fe VII and Ne V) and its imposing, variable infrared excess. However, the resemblance between the optical spectrum of H1-36 and that of many symbiotic stars and the discovery of a cool giant in H1-36 suggest that H1-36 is a symbiotic star. A model is proposed which provides a qualitative explanation for the great strength of low-excitation forbidden lines in the optical spectrum of H1-36. Similarities between H1-36 and three recent slow novae, RR Tel, V1016 Cyg, and HM Sge, are examined."
