Spitzer Observations of the Hh 1/2 System. the Discovery of the Counterjet
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We present unpublished Spitzer IRAC observations of the HH 1/2 young stellar outflow processed with a high angular resolution deconvolution algorithm , that produces sub-arcsecond (∼ 0.6 0.8′′) images. In the resulting mid-infrared images, the optically invisible counterjet is detected for the first time. The counterjet is approximately half as bright as the jet at 4.5μm (the IRAC band that best traces young stellar outflows) and has a length of ∼ 10′′. The NW optical jet itself can be followed back in the mid-IR to the position of the exciting VLA 1 source. An analysis of the IRAC colors indicates that the jet/counterjet emission is dominated by collisionally excited H2 pure rotational lines arising from a medium with a neutral Hydrogen gas density of ∼ 1000−2000 cm−3 and a temperature ∼ 1500 K. The observed jet/counterjet brightness asymmetry is consistent with an intrinsically symmetric outflow with extinction from a dense, circumstellar structure of ∼ 6′′ size (along the outflow axis), and with a mean visual extinction, AV∼ 11 mag. Subject headings: circumstellar matter — stars: formation — ISM: jets and outflows — infrared: ISM — Herbig-Haro objects — ISM: individual objects (HH1/2)

Discovery of new embedded Herbig - Haro objects in the ρ Ophiuchi dark cloud ⋆
We report here the discovery of a 30 ′′-chain of embedded Herbig-Haro (HH) objects in the ρ Ophiuchi dark cloud. These HH objects were first detected during a deep KS-band observation (completeness magnitude for point source∼19) made with NTT/SOFI. We confirm their nature with follow-up observations made with H2 v=1–0 S(1) narrow-band filter. We argue that they belong to two different jets eman...
متن کاملHerbig - Haro flows in L 1641 N ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆
Aims. To study the Herbig-Haro (HH) flows in L1641N, an active star formation region in the southern part of the Orion GMC and one of the most densely populated regions of HH objects in the entire sky. By mapping the velocities of these HH objects, combined with mid-IR observations of the young stars, the major flows in the region and the corresponding outflow sources can be revealed. Methods. ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential responses of the cardiovascular system and regional blood flow to hypoxic hypoxia (BB) and to carbon monoxide (CO)-induced hypoxia (COH). Ten anesthetized cats were studied under two nonnoxic (control: CONT) and two hypoxic conditions. Four types of radioactive micro spheres were used to measure regional blood flow during CONT an...

Asphalt Pavement Performance Model of Airport Using Microwave Remote Sensing Satellite
The purpose of this study is to build the binary logit model of an airport pavement that could monitor the pavement condition in near real time using microwave remote sensing satellite, then the relationship between the international roughness index (IRI) of an airport and backscattering values from PALSAR images of the ALOS satellite was determined. Total 390 data were used in analysis. This m...
