Description:
Far-infrared (50-100 micrometers) photometric mapping and near-infrared spectroscopic mapping of the Herbig-Haro 1-2 region are presented. Both lobes of the double-lobed far-infrared source in this region are found to be nearly coincident with recently discovered radio continuum sources. The dust temperature structure around each peak is not spherically symmetric, suggesting either that the far-infrared sources are centrally heated or that the dust column density is highly nonspherically symmetric. The results are consistent with a picture in which each far-infrared lobe contains a highly obscured young star surrounded by a highly nonspherically symmetric dust cloud. A complementary study by Strom et al. (1985) is pointed out.
