Scientific paper

Recent analyses of narrow-band CCD images of bipolar stellar jets show that, in several cases, a large difference between the jet and the counterjet opening angles is present. These results can be successfully interpreted in terms of nonadiabatic de Laval nozzle models. It is shown that, if the stratification of the environment is different for each outflow direction, the most likely values for the ratio between the opening angles of the jets produced by the two oppositely directed nozzles agree with the observed values. The best agreement is obtained if it is assumed that the nozzles have initial temperatures of the order of 10 to the 6th K.
