In a breakthrough, a team of astronomers from the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), Ahmedabad used the data from Ultra-Violet imaging telescope (UVIT) onboard India’s Astrosat space observatory to resolve the nature of a peculiar star named SU Lyn. They have utilized, for the first time, the UV spectroscopy capability of UVIT and in the process, have thrown new light on the class of stellar objects known as symbiotic stars.
