Shocks and Photoionization of the Inner 650 au Jet of the Interacting Binary Star R Aquarii from Multiwavelength Hubble Space Telescope Observations

Astrophysical jets are present in a range of environments, including young stellar objects, X-ray binaries, and active galactic nuclei, but their formation is still not fully understood. As one of the nearest symbiotic binary stars, R Aquarii ( D ∼ 220 pc) offers a unique opportunity to study the in...
