Abstract

AbstractWe report on multiwavelength (from X-ray to optical) follow up observations of a carbon star CGCS 5926, motivated by the fact that it is positionally coincident with a faint X-ray source of the ROSAT catalog, thus suggesting its possible symbiotic X-ray binary (SyXB) nature. Our optical spectroscopy confirms that this is a carbon star of type C(6,2). This allows us to infer for CGCS 5926 a distance of ~5 kpc. BVR
