Abstract | We report the multi-epoch VLBA observations of 22.2 GHz water maser emission associated with the “water fountain” star IRAS 18286-0959. The detected maser emission peaks are distributed in the velocity range from -50 km/s to 150 km/s in the spectra. The distribution of over 70% of the identified maser features are found to be highly collimated along a spiral jet (jet 1) extended from southeast to northwest direction, and the rest of the features seem to trace out another spiral jet (jet 2) with
different orientations, forming a “double-helix” pattern. A precessing jet model is proposed to fit the two jets independently. The coefficient of determination of the fitting is -0.85 for jet 1 and -0.51 for jet 2, indicating the model is reliable at least for jet 1. The precession periods and velocities are derived to be 60 years and 170 km/s for jet 1, 40 years and 152 km/s for jet 2, respectively. Owing to the difference between two sets of parameters, the two jets are probably originated from different driving sources visually close to each other. IRAS 18286-0959 is the second example of water fountain which has a collimated precessing outflow other than W 43A. |
