Abstract
General characteristics of emission line spectra from symbiotic stars are outlined. Data from some special line ratios in the 1000 Å–3000 Å range, and others connecting the visual and the far UV lines are presented, and their application to symbiotic stars is discussed. Integrated fractional abundances for ions easily observed in the far UV are given to facilitate abundance determinations for nebular conditions. It is found that the physical conditions of the regions emitting the emission line spectra differ considerably among different symbiotic stars.
