Cover Story: Symbiotic stars are interacting binaries in which a cool red giant transfers mass to a hot, compact companion. This interaction produces complex spectra (some examples are shown on the cover) and intricate structures, such as those observed in R Aqr by the Hubble Space Telescope (background image). These systems exhibit strong variability across the electromagnetic spectrum, with timescales ranging from minutes to decades. As this review highlights, ground- and space-based photometric and spectroscopic surveys have greatly advanced the discovery and characterization of symbiotic stars. Recent observations have expanded the known population, refined classification schemes, and deepened our understanding of their variability. Yet, many fundamental questions remain unanswered. View this paper

CMB Multipole Expansion in a Frame Dragging-Sustained Milky Way

  • Federico Re,
  • Marco Galoppo and
  • Massimo Dotti

We study the impact on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) landscape of peculiar rotational general relativistic effects. These effects, on galactic scales, do not possess a Newtonian analogue, and therefore could a priori impact CMB analysis. We f...

MWC 342 (V1972 Cyg) was discovered nearly 90 years ago as an early-type emission-line star. It was among the first hot stars whose strong infrared excess was detected in the early 1970s. Several mostly short-term photometric and spectroscopic studies...
