No paper of this nature should begin without a definition of symbiotic stars. It was Paul Merrill who, borrowing on his botanical background, coined the termsymbioticto describe apparently single stellar systems which combine the TiO absorption of M giants (temperature regime ≲ 3500 K) with He II emission (temperature regime ≳ 100,000 K). He and Milton Humason had in 1932 first drawn attention to three such stars: AX Per, CI Cyg and RW Hya. At the conclusion of the Mount Wilson Ha emission survey nearly a dozen had been identified, and Z And had become their type star. The numbers slowly grew, as much because the definition widened to include lower-excitation specimens as because new examples of the original type were found. In 1970 Wackerling listed 30; this was the last compendium of symbiotic stars published.

ABSTRACT We report the validation of a recently proposed infrared (IR) selection criterion for symbiotic stars (SySts). Spectroscopic data were obtained for seven candidates, selected from the SySt candidates of Akras et al. by employing the new supplementary IR selection criterion for SySts in the VST/OmegaCAM Photometric H-Alpha Survey. Five of them turned out to be genuine SySts after the detection of H α, He ii, and [O iii] emission lines as well as TiO molecular bands. The characteristic O vi Raman-scattered line is also detected in one of these SySts. According to their IR colours and optical spectra, all five newly discovered SySts are classified as S-type. The high rate of true SySts detections of this work demonstrates that the combination of the H α emission and the new IR criterion improves the selection of target lists for follow-up observations by minimizing the number of contaminants and optimizing the observing time.

During the interval covered by this report, Commission 29 has sponsored or cosponsored the following IAU meetings: Symposium 98 on “Be Stars,” Munich, FRG, April 1981; Colloquium 59, “Effects of Mass-Loss on Stellar Evolution,” Trieste, Italy, September 1980; and Colloquim 70, “The Nature of Symbiotic Stars,” Haute-Provence, France, August 1981. In addition, Commission 29, through its Working Group on Ap Stars, collaborated in the organization of the 23rd Liege International Astrophysical Symposium on Upper Main-Sequence Chemically Peculiar Stars. Several IAU symposia and colloquia proposed for 1982 and 1983 are also cosponsored by Commission 29.

The status for the identification of specific astronomical objects as SNIa progenitors is reviewed. Single or double degenerate progenitors? Chandrasekhar or sub-Chandrasekhar mass exploders? These are the two main questions still to be answered concerning the progenitors of Type la supernovae. Although all four combinations may be represented in nature, searches for double degenerates seem to indicate that such systems provide a minor channel for the production of SNIa’s. The more promising candidates appear to be symbiotic stars, consisting of a single degenerate star and a sub-Chandrasekhar mass star.
