Abstract:
    We have analyzed the optical spectra of 67 symbiotic stars and objects
    suspected of being symbiotic, and found 18 new symbiotic systems. This
    is the largest homogeneous set of optical spectrophotometric data for
    symbiotic binaries ever studied. We have derived the reddenings and
    distances for all systems, estimated the IR classes (S and D) for the
    new systems, and determined the location of the hot components in the
    Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
