A catalogue of symbiotic stars

We present a new catalogue of symbiotic stars. In our list we include! 188 symbiotic stars as well as 30 objects suspected of being symbiotic. For eac h star, we present basic: observational material: coordinates, V and It mag nitudes, ultraviolet (UV), infrared (In), X-ray and radio observations. We also list the: spectral type of the cool component, the maximum ionization potential observed, references to finding charts, spectra, classifications and recent papers discussing the physical parameters and nature of each obj ect. Moreover, we present the orbital photometric cy,ephemerides and orbita l elements of known symbiotic binaries, pulsational periods for symbiotic M iras, Hipparcos parallaxes and information about outbursts and flickering.
