The R Aquarii-jet at UV and radio wavelengthsThe jet and central star of the peculiar symbiotic variable R Aquarii was monitored with IUE low resolution SWP 1200 to 2000 A spectra, in order to detect possible temporal variations. The absolute line intensities of N V, C IV and He II, as well as numerous other ionic species in the jet are found to vary on a timescale of 1.5 yr. High spatial resolution radio VLA maps and SiO maser millimeter interferometer observations of the star are quoted.
