Herbig-Haro Objects in the Orion Nebula Region
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
The Orion Nebula Region has two different systems of objects classified as HH objects. The North System is associated with the H2 fingers seen in the infrared and is probably the result of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities in shocked material moving into the near side of the giant molecular cloud OMC-1. The South System is associated with source(s) within the Trapezium cluster, with the shocked HH objects occuring where jets from pre-main sequence stars impinge on the neutral lid of material that lies across the front of the Orion Nebula. Such jets are different from those driving other HH objects in that these are passing through photoionized material and two of the Orion jets may have been detected.
