Abstract

Near-infrared imaging of the emission from molecular hydrogen is a powerful method for discovering outflows in star-forming regions. We present new near-infrared images, long slit and integral field spectroscopy of the ultra-compact HII region G25.65+1.05. These new observations reveal shocked H2 emission associated with a bipolar outflow from a young high mass star at the centre of the source. The physical parameters of the outflow are discussed and compared with outflows from lower mass stars.
