Abstract

Analysis of the minima positions in the historical light curves of classical symbiotic stars revealed a systematic variation in the O - C residuals which indicates apparent changes of the orbital period in these systems. The observed variation results from systematic changes in the geometry and location of the main source of the optical continuum due to outbursts of symbiotic binary.
