New insights into the nature of mid-infrared emission associated with massive star formation: disks and outflow
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2006
Abstract
Recent observations in the mid-infrared (5-25 μm) of massive young stellar sources have yielded a surprising result: many show evidence of mid-infrared emission from outflows and jets. These observations correlate well with other larger-scale outflow indicators and their geometries, such as what is seen in shock-excited H2 and CO emission. In some cases these mid-infrared observations identify the local maser emission as outflow or jet related.
