Abstract:

Hard X-ray emission up to ~100 keV has recently been detected with INTEGRAL and Swift from 3 exceptional symbiotic stars. These 3 objects are members of a subclass of symbiotics characterized by rapid optical flickering, and in some cases jets, recurrent nova eruptions, and high-mass white dwarfs possibly headed toward supernova Type Ia explosion. The origin of the hard X-ray emission from these accreting white dwarfs is a mystery. Broad-band X-ray observations, which only Suzaku can provide, are needed to bridge the gap between existing soft and hard X-ray spectra. We propose to perform such Suzaku observations of RT Cru, T CrB, and RS Oph to distinguish among thermal emission from a magnetic accretion column, non-thermal emission from a jet, or some unforeseen emission mechanism.
