... The effect is strongest in the most evolved, high-latitude supergiant V5112 Sgr=IRAS19500-1709, which has an extended structured envelope (Figs.1 and 2).

... The jets can also be produced in smaller scale by binary stellar systems. ... Some 200 -- 250 X-ray binaries, systems in which a neutron star or black hole is accreting material from a companion star, are known. Approximately 20% of these sources have been detected at radio wavelengths, and in several cases high resolution radio observations have resolved this emission into jet-like structures, sometimes with components moving at relativistic velocities. ... It is variable radio source. ...

The weather throughout this year was so extremely favorable that I have been able to observe the Sun clearly on 312 days; however, I counted only 34 groups of sunspots..
