HH 1/2

The Herbig-Haro objects HH 1/2 are the first such objects to be recognized as Herbig-Haro objects and were discovered by George Herbig and Guillermo Haro.[3][4][2][5] They are located at a distance of about 1500 light-years (460 parsec) in the constellation Orion near NGC 1999.[3] HH 1/2 are among the brightest Herbig-Haro objects in the sky and consist of a pair of oppositely oriented bow shocks, separated by 2.5 arcminutes (a projected separation of about 1.1 light year). The HH 1/2 pair were the first Herbig-Haro objects with detected proper motion[6] and HH 2 was the first Herbig-Haro object to be detected in x-rays.[7] Some of the structures in the Herbig-Haro Objects move with a speed of 400 km/s.[2]

The central region

The central region contains an opaque cloud core with an astrophysical jet[8] and a highly embedded multiple-star system that remains invisible below 3 Microns. These sources were first detected with the Very Large Array and are therefore named VLA 1 and 2.[9] The source HH 1-2 VLA 1[10] drives the HH 1/2 pair and the source VLA 2 drives the Herbig-Haro objects HH 144/145.[11] There might be even a third outflow in the central region of HH 1/2, indicating a third member.[12]

The jet towards HH 1 is visible in optical images, but the counterjet towards HH 2 was detected in the infrared with the Spitzer Space Telescope.[13]

  • An older version of the region mapped by the WFPC2 of Hubble. The image also shows the jet in the lower right part in more detail
  • Multiple Herbig-Haro Objects mapped by the Hubble Space Telescope, including HH 2 at the lower right. HH 47 is at the top part and part of HH 34 is at the lower left.

gollark: Unicode has barely begun providing code points for all of the various emojis currently in use, and it is likely that more emojis will be created in the future. For example, there are still missing emoji symbols for most types of food and drink, the flags of each town and city on Earth, all human sporting and leisure activities including all local and national sports teams and players, and every plant and animal species and gender.
gollark: I mean, specific emoji fonts, sure.
gollark: There's the avian carrier QoS RFC already, so I suppose there's precedent for extensions.
gollark: > IOB will be the new buzz wordYESWE NEED APIARY CARRIERS AND A BUZZWORD PUN
gollark: Most fonts *don't*.
