Evolved stars as donors in symbiotic binaries

TL;DR

This paper investigates how cool giant stars in symbiotic binaries contribute to mass transfer through stellar winds, affecting the evolution of these binary systems.

Contribution

It provides new insights into the mass-loss rates of cool giants and their impact on wind accretion in symbiotic binaries.

Findings

Cool giants have significant mass-loss rates.

Wind mass transfer influences binary evolution.

Implications for symbiotic star modeling.

Abstract

This contribution is focused on the role of cool giants in symbiotic binaries. Especially, we pay attention to their mass-loss rates and the wind mass-transfer onto their compact accretors.
