Scientific paper

The Local Group Census is a narrow- and broad-band survey of all the galaxies of the Local Group above dec = -30 deg, in progress at the 2.5m Isaac Newton telescope on La Palma. We discuss here the ability of the survey to detect symbiotic star candidates in the Local Group, by deriving detection limits in each of the narrow- and broad-band frames used in the survey, and by estimating the total number of objects expected in each galaxy. We present two diagnostic diagrams, based on the adopted photometric filters, to discriminate between symbiotic stars and other emission-line objects such as planetary nebulae.
