Internal velocities in Orion Nebula

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The proper motions (tangential velocities) of Herbig-Haro (HH) objects in the Orion Nebula were measured with a +/-10km/s accuracy using the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 images in [S II], [N II], H, and [O III], taken 4-6yr apart.

Description

Seven HH flows in the outer region as well as seven HH objects in the inner region of the BN-KL complex were identified. The H2 finger system was confirmed to be created by an explosive event that took place approximately 1000 yr ago.

We found a new HH flow toward the northwest originating from the vicinity of OMC-1S, which may be a part of the low-velocity bipolar flows centered at FIR 4. The proper motion of HH 202 was also measured with high accuracy for the first time. The proper-motion vectors of HH 202 and HH 203/204 are aligned well with their projected symmetric axis, which may indicate that they emanated from the same source.

The proper-motion measurements in various emission lines provide generally the same results in the wide range of velocity from 20 to 400km/s, as expected for shocks in a steady state.
