Erratum for: A&A 588 A83 (2016), https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201525645

We report an erratum to Shagatova et al. (2016). Due to the incorrect reasoning, Eqs. (17) and (18) contain redundant factor 2, leading to two times higher values of the spherical equivalent of the mass-loss rate Ṁ_sp in Table 3. However, the conclusions of the original article remain valid since the correct values of Ṁ_sp are of the same order of ≈10⁻⁶ M_⊙ yr⁻¹ for typical terminal velocities of the red giant wind in symbiotic systems. We apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused due to our error. In the paragraph below, the revised version of Sect. 4.2 is given, except for its first and last sentence, which are correct, in addition to Table 3 with proper values of Ṁ_sp.

For the integral (5) expressed in the length units of R_G, we can rewrite Eq. (9) as

$$\begin{array}{c}\hfill \frac{a}{R_{\mathrm{G}}}=\frac{n_1{v}_{\infty }}{{\lambda }_1}.\end{array}$$(17)

Then, using Eq. (6) we obtain the relationship

$$\begin{array}{c}\hfill {\dot{M}}_{\mathrm{sp}}=2\pi \mu m_{\mathrm{H}}{R}_{\mathrm{G}}\frac{n_1}{{\lambda }_1}{v}_{\infty },\end{array}$$(18)

where n₁ is the resulting parameter of our models (see Table 2).
