The transverse velocity and excitation structure of the HH 110 jet ⋆
نویسنده
چکیده
We present long-slit spectroscopic observations of the HH 110 jet obtained with the 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope. We have obtained for the first time, spectra for slit positions along and across the jet axis (at the position of knots B, C, I, J and P) to search for the observational signatures of entrainment and turbulence by studying the kinematics and the excitation structure. We find that the HH 110 flow accelerates from a velocity of 35 km s in knot A up to 110 km s in knot P. We find some systematic trends for the variation of the emission line ratios along the jet. No clear trends for the variation of the radial velocity are seen across the width of the jet beam. The cross sections of the jet show complex radial velocity and line emission structures which differ quite strongly from each other.

Design and Manufacturing of Jet to free Stream Simulator to Experimental Study of Interaction of Oblique Jet in Crossflow
The study of interactions of jet into cross flow at different longitudinal and transverse angles of jet was studied. The following components were designed and constructed: a low velocity wind tunnel to produce the uniform flow, a flat plate with a traverse injection system to simulate the jet injection, and a spatial rake to measure the total pressure. The tests were carried out at longitudina...

متن کاملA Model for the Cross Section of a Turbulent, Radiative Jet or Wake
We present an analytical model for the cross section of a turbulent, radiative jet or wake. This model is appropriate for modeling HH jets, or “wakes” left behind by “astrophysical bullets”. Even though the model is very simple, it has the benign property of only having four free parameters (the outer radius of the beam, the axial velocity, the velocity at the edge of the beam, and the turbulen...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of molecular hydrogen in outflows from young stars
We present new medium-resolution longslit spectra in the near-infrared and examine the excitation of molecular hydrogen across several outflows from young stars. In contrast to previous studies, in which the brightest patches in the flows were selected, we find evidence for variations in excitation with position within several sources. We present and comment on a number of H2 excitation mechani...
