Scientific paper

As part of our Swift fill-in program (PI. J. Sokoloski), we report the Swift/XRT detection of 8 symbiotic stars not previously detected in X-rays. These 8 new X-ray sources all show spectra extending to energies greater than 2.4 keV. The X-ray spectra are consistent with emission from a boundary layer around an accreting white dwarf, as in the symbiotic stars RT Cru, T CrB, CD -57 3057, and CH Cyg (Luna & Sokoloski 2007, ApJ, 671, 741; Smith et al.
