A search for rapid photometric variability in symbiotic binaries

We report on our survey for rapid (time-scale of minutes) photometric variability in symbiotic binaries. These binaries are becoming an increasingly important place to study accretion on to white dwarfs, since they are candidate Type Ia supernova progenitors. Unlike in most cataclysmic variables, the white dwarfs in symbiotics typically accrete …
