Scientific paper

The gas stream between the two components of CX Draconis was observed in the UV and modeled using a simple ballistic code. To scale the model to the data, an inclination of 15 deg is required. A jet of high velocity material is also present but cannot be accounted for with the model. It is conjectured that viscosity causes the infalling stream to spread to the extent that it can avoid collision with the photosphere of the primary and escape from the system by a gravitational slingshot effect.
