We present observations that show that the symbiotic star CH Cygni recently underwent a strong radio outburst that produced a radio-emitting thermal jet. The jet is two-sided and is expanding lengthwise at an observed rate (end to end) of 1 arcsec/year, corresponding to a transverse velocity of 1100 km∙s−1 in each direction. The electron density on January 22, 1985 exceeded 2 × 106 cm−3, and the mass of the (ionized) gas exceeded [Formula: see text]. The emergence of the jet coincided with a decline in the visual luminosity of [Formula: see text].The data are consistent with a jet produced by supercritical accretion in a binary containing a red giant and a [Formula: see text] white dwarf. The discovery of a jet in such a system provides confirming evidence of the role played by accretion in determining the optical and radio properties of this system. It is also the first expanding jet found to be associated with an evolved stellar object.

Recurrent Nova

In recent years, recurrent nova eruptions are often observed very intensely in wide range of wavelengths from radio to optical to X-rays. Here I present selected highlights from recent multi-wavelength observations. The enigma of T Pyx is at the heart of this paper. While our current understanding of CV and symbiotic star evolution can explain why certain subset of recurrent novae have high accretion rate, that of T Pyx must be greatly elevated compared to the evolutionary mean. At the same time, we have extensive data to be able to estimate how the nova envelope was ejected in T Pyx, and it turns to be a rather complex tale. One suspects that envelope ejection in recurrent and classical novae in general is more complicated than the textbook descriptions. At the end of the review, I will speculate that these two may be connected.
