Impact of Pulsation Activity on the Light Curves of Symbiotic Variables

TL;DR

This paper analyzes long-term visual observations of symbiotic variables to detect pulsation-induced periodicities, revealing multiple periodicities in individual cases and enhancing understanding of their light curve behaviors.

Contribution

It introduces a detailed analysis of pulsation effects on symbiotic variables using amateur observational data, highlighting multiple periodicities in these stars.

Findings

Detection of multiple periodicities in symbiotic variables

Identification of pulsation effects influencing light curves

Enhanced understanding of symbiotic star variability

Abstract

We used long-term visual amateur observations of several symbiotic variables for detection of periods that may be caused by pulsation. The examples of multiple periodicities are discussed individually in each case.
