Accretion-powered symbiotic binaries: EG And and CQ Dra

We present the 0.12 - 0.45 μ SED of two quiet symbiotic binaries, EG And and CQ Dra. We reconstructed the observed SED by a three-component-model of radiation to isolate the stellar and nebular contributions. This analysis showed that CQ Dra can definitely be considered as the symbiotic binary and not a CV in a wide binary. Our solution suggests that the sole energy source in both binaries is accretion from the giant's wind at the rate of a few × 10^-8 M_⊙ yr^-1 for EG And and a few × 10^-9 M_⊙ yr^-1 for CQ Dra.
