We present new spectroscopic observations between 3100 and 5100 and 3500 and 7500 of the A A stars Hen 3-461, Hen 3-653, Hen 2-156, V704 Cen, Mac 1-17, V3804 Sgr, and V2905 Sgr. Except for V3804 Sgr, which presents a Ñat spectrum in the optical range, and V704 Cen, all the objects have latetype continuum spectra, and some have H I, He I, He II j4686, and [O III] j5007 emission lines. All the objects have been previously classiÐed as suspected symbiotic stars. We Ðnd that Ðve of them (Hen 3-461, Hen 2-156, Mac 1-17, V3804 Sgr, and V2905 Sgr) are symbiotic stars. The nature of two objects, Hen 3-653 and V704 Cen, is still uncertain despite their symbiotic behavior. We also present a discussion of the nature of each object.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
