Detection of 19 lt-yr Long Bipolar Jets from Interacting Binary KX And.

ZIEGENBALG S.

Abstract (from CDS):

Bipolar jets with an apparent length of 20' ejected from KX And have been discovered in the first data release of the Northern Sky Narrowband Survey. KX And is a well-studied interacting binary with mass transfer through Roche lobe overflow at a distance of about 760 pc. However, the faint jets, which are visible in Hα light, have been overlooked in the past. With a known inclination of i ≈ 50° of the binary system, this leads to a true length of the jets of about 19 lt-yr (5.8 pc) in each direction.
