“…The conditions traditionally required to identify WFs are as follows: (1) the velocity range of the 22.235 GHz H 2 O maser emission (i.e., twice the expansion velocity of the molecular jet) exceeds 100 km s −1 , (2) the collimated structure of the molecular jet is confirmed by radio interferometric observations, and (3) the infrared properties are not inconsistent with the status of low-and intermediate-mass evolved stars in terms of color index and morphology. To date, 16 WFs are known (see Appendix E), including several well-studied objects, such as IRAS 16342−3814 (Sahai et al 1999), W43A (Imai et al 2002), IRAS 19134+2131 (Imai et al 2004), IRAS 18286−0959 (Yung et al 2011), and IRAS 18043−2116(Uscanga et al 2023. Since the length and speed of the molecular jet can be obtained from very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations, the kinematic timescale of the jet can be calculated.…”
