A dynamic view of V Hydrae. Monitoring of a spectroscopic-binary AGB star with an alkaline jet
Context. The well studied carbon star V Hydrae is known to exhibit a complex asymmetric environment made of a dense equatorial wind and high-velocity outflows, hinting at its transition from the AGB phase to the asymmetric planetary nebula phase. In addition, V Hydrae also exhibits a long secondary period of 17 yr in its light curve, suggesting the
