Descripción
We have started a project to search for symbiotic stars using the data from IPHAS, the Hα survey of the Northern Galactic plane. Candidates are selected from the IPHAS photometric catalogue based on their colors, combined with the information in the near-infrared from 2MASS. So far, follow-up spectroscopy allowed us to discover 14 new symbiotic stars, compared to the 10 systems previously known in the IPHAS survey area. Their general characteristics and the most notable cases are briefly presented. The spectroscopic campaign also allowed us to refine the selection criteria for symbiotic stars in IPHAS. Perspectives, which include the extension of the survey in the Southern Galactic plane and a portion of the bulge (VPHAS+), are discussed.

Nuestro proyecto persigue tres objetivos principales: 1) Determinar las condiciones físico-químicas de las nebulosas planetarias con geometría bipolar y de las nebulosas alrededor de estrellas simbióticas. El fin es entender el origen de la bipolaridad y poner a prueba los modelos teóricos que intentan explicar la morfología y la cinemática nebular
