RNe SEDs corrected for distances. The observed SEDs from Figure  70 have been corrected for distances, to get the spectral luminosity distributions. We see that four systems (T CrB, RS Oph, V745 Sco, and V3890 Sgr) all have similar luminosities for their red giant companion stars, while four of the systems (T Pyx, IM Nor, V394 CrA, and U Sco) all have similar luminosities for their accretion disks. But we are then left with trying to understand why CI Aql and V2487 Oph are an order of magnitude brighter than the other systems dominated by accretion disks.
