Near-infrared detection of H2 flows in the core of Mon R1 association
Abstract
We report the discovery of 4 new H2 jets in Mon R1 star-forming region on the images obtained with the 2.5-m telescope of the Caucasian Mountain Observatory of SAI MSU through the filter, centered on the H2 1-0 S(1) emission line. This discovery confirms the nature of these flows, which existence was previously suspected using archival Spitzer GLIMPSE360 and WISE survey images. Also two infrared reflection nebulae were revealed. On the Herschel PACS survey images we found a small group of far-infrared sources, mostly unknown ones. Among them are the possible exciting objects of these outflows. Spectral energy distributions of new sources show their extremely red colour and the bolometric luminosities reaching 3 Lsun and even 10 Lsun. They should be PMS objects at the very early evolutionary stages.
