Elongated structures near stars: jets or projection effects?. (1986). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 13(1), 107-113. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/1986rmxaa..13..107c

Abstract

Recent observations in radio, infrared and visible wavelengths have revealed the presence of small, elongated gaseous structures that appear to emanate from stars. These structures are frequently interpreted as jets, perhaps similar in nature to those observed in extragalactic objects. The authors argue that these apparent "jets" could simply be light emitted by or reflected from the walls of the cavities expected to be formed when the winds of these stars drive their surrounding gaseous medium away.
