Scientific paper

Symbiotic stars may be the progenitors of the cosmologically important Type Ia SNe. The high accretion rate onto the white dwarfs (WDs) in these binaries allows for steady, rather than explosive burning as in classical novae. The accreted material can therefore remain on the WD, driving its mass closer to the Chandrasekhar limit, rather than being blown off in a nova. OR CAN IT? Classical symbiotics experience outbursts typically every 10 - 20 years, and these events are not well-understood. After the 1985 outburst of the class prototype, Z Andromedae (which is also a 28-minute pulsar), it appeared that a shell of material had been ejected from the WD. This object has recently outburst again. An X-ray observation within roughly one month will provide v, T, and density diagnostics deep wit
