A comparison of our observations with those made prior to 2015 indicates that the system is in a state of higher emission in the radio as well. The spectral energy distributions are consistent with optically thick thermal bremsstrahlung emission from a photoionized source. Our observations indicate that the system was in a state of increased ionization in the companion wind, possibly driven by an increase in accretion rate, with the radio photosphere located well outside the binary system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-09-30T17:35:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "radio observations", "optically thick thermal bremsstrahlung emission", "spectral energy distributions", "radio photosphere", "symbiotic binary" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
