| Abstract: |
The Multi-Object-Spectroscopy (MOS) mode of LIRIS was used to map the
near-IR stellar outflow HH 223, in the dark cloud Lynds 723 (L723). HH 223
spatially coincides with the east-west component of the L723 quadrupolar
CO outflow. The radio continuum source SMA2, towards the center of the
quadrupolar CO outflow, hides the YSO that seems to power both the near-IR
and the CO outflows. To map the S-shaped, near-IR emission of HH 223,
extending ∼ 5', an appropriate mask was designed, with 16 rectangular
slitlets. J, H and K-band spectra (R ∼eq 2500) were obtained through the
mask. The kinematics of the neutral (H2) and ionized
([FeII]) gas outflow was derived from these data. The results confirm that both the near-IR and the CO outflows
have a common driving source. To our knowledge, this is the first use of the MOS-LIRIS
observing mode with the mask designed ad hoc to fit several extended, nonaligned targets. |
