Abstract (from CDS):

The Symbiotic star (SySt) is a long-period interacting binary system, typically consisting of a white dwarf (WD) and a red giant surrounded by a nebula. These systems are natural astrophysical laboratories for investigating binary star evolution. In this paper, we identified nine SySts from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) DR10 low-resolution spectra survey, seven of which were previously known, while two are newly identified. Initially, we selected LAMOST spectra exhibiting typical SySt emission lines (e.g., Hα, Hβ, Hγ, and He II). Subsequently, we utilized the distribution of known SySts on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram to select SySt candidates, and visually inspected their spectra. Ultimately, we classified all nine as S-type SySts using the J - H versus H - Ks diagram. Additionally, based on multiband photometric data from GALEX, Gaia, Two Micron All Sky Survey, ALLWISE, and several X-ray catalogs, we found 12 accreting-only SySt (acc-SySt) candidates, characterized by concurrent ultraviolet and infrared excess and accretion process. Furthermore, we estimated the WD temperatures by fitting their observed spectral energy distributions using a combination of the Kurucz stellar atmosphere model and the Koester WD model. We compared the accretion rates of acc-SySt candidates and confirmed SySts, and found they have similar accretion rate distributions, providing evidence that these acc-SySt candidates constitute bona fide SySts.
