'''4U 0614+091''' is a low-mass [[Astronomy:X-ray binary|X-ray binary]] [[Astronomy:Star system|star system]] which features a [[Astronomy:Neutron star|neutron star]] and a low-mass companion [[Astronomy:Star|star]]. The binary system lies 10,000 [[Astronomy:Light-year|light-year]]s away in [[Astronomy:Orion (constellation)|Orion]]. It produces jets like a [[Astronomy:Microquasar|microquasar]], the first time an object other than a [[Astronomy:Black hole|black hole]] has been shown to produce [[Astronomy:Astrophysical jet|jets]].
