Spectroscopic Monotoring of the Symbiotic Star BX Monocerotis

Low resolution optical spectra of the symbiotic star BX Monocerotis in the 3500-9000 Å range obtained during 1999–2010 are described. the spectrum of BX Mon at all phases is dominated by the cool component, with a red continuum and TiO absorption. Emission lines, predominantly due to HI, He I, He II...

description Low resolution optical spectra of the symbiotic star BX Monocerotis in the 3500-9000 Å range obtained during 1999–2010 are described. the spectrum of BX Mon at all phases is dominated by the cool component, with a red continuum and TiO absorption. Emission lines, predominantly due to HI, He I, He II, Fe II, Ca II and [O III] are seen superimposed on the spectrum of the M5III star, with variable intensities. the observed variations in the spectra seem to be correlated with the orbital phases.
