Spectroscopic observations of high spatial and high spectral resolution indicate that mass flow from symbiotic stars generally exhibits a bipolar pattern. Besides the polar features moving at velocities up to several 100 km/s, equatorial structures of much lower expansion rate are present in some cases. Mostly, the high-velocity components appear to be highly collimated and hence can be considered as “jets”. The jets probably originate from an accretion disk within a binary star where mass from a late-type giant is accreted by a compact companion.
