Scientific paper

The Hipparcos results on symbiotic stars are presented and briefly discussed. In spite of the faintness of the targets and their distance at the very limit of the mission goals, the Hipparcos data are valuable because for the first time geometrically determined distances to at least a few symbiotic stars are provided. The Hipparcos results tend to support the notion from ground-based IR photometry and radial velocities that the bulk of symbiotic stars belong to the Bulge/thick-Disk population of the Galaxy, with implications for their energetics, their total number in the Galaxy and their link to SN Ia progenitors.
