Spectral energy distribution for the two S-type (top two panels) and the three D-type (bottom panels) new symbiotic stars. Filled circles are the observed fluxes from 0.6 to 22 μm, whereas open circles are fluxes dereddened with values of A_V determined from the best fit photospheric modelling (cyan line in the S-type objects). Errors are plotted when larger than the size of the symbol. The blue curves represent blackbody fits to the 2.2 → 22 μm data for the D-type symbiotics. See text for details.
