Scientific paper

R Mon is described as a peculiar star located at the apex of the (apparent) cometary nebula NGC 2261. Carbon monoxide observations of this region show an elongated molecular cloud with R Mon at the center. The suggestion is made that the cloud is disk shaped and that the stellar wind of R Mon has created a bipolar cavity in it. The results show that a recently formed, wind-producing star located in a disklike molecular environment (interstellar disk) will have its wind channeled in two opposite directions along the poles of the disk.
