Wind accretion and interaction in long period binary systems.
Abstract
Recent observations of the class of objects called symbiotic nova are reviewed. They are suggested to be widely-separated long-period binary systems undergoing mass exchange by wind accretion. Their radio, infrared, optical and X-ray properties are explained by a model of interacting winds.
