I found informations showing that many stars in Orion nebula is actually proto-stars, with circumstellar disk of dense gas surrounding them, called proplyds. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protoplanetary_disk).

That is the case of G, H and I.

Image from Hubble of protostars in Orion nebula: http://www.spacetelescope.org/news/heic0917/

Attached we have the Hubble image of G star.

It seems that G were, or yet is, two proto-stars, that is becoming into a single star by stealing the material and/or gas from compainion.

Esa says in http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/heic0917ba/:

This tadpole-shaped proplyd’s tail is actually a jet of matter flowing away from the excited cusp.
Maybe in the final stage it will be a binary system !

A more complete report I am doing in http://jsmastronomy.30143.n7.nabble....d377.html#a381
