Description:
L1551NE is a very young protostar (class I or perhaps class 0), located very close to L1551NE IRS 5. It is the second brightest far-infrared source in the Taurus molecular cloud complex, but its proximity to the brightest source IRS 5 has prevented effective observations of any molecular outflow. We here present evidence that it does indeed process an outflow, that the optical/infrared reflection nebula is associated with the blueshifted outflow lobe, and that the L1551W outflow does not originate from L1551NE, as has been suggested.
