A wide-field imaging study with interference filters has revealed 35 new Herbig-Haro objects in the Gulf of Mexico. A grism survey has identified 41 Halpha emission-line stars, 30 of them new. A small cluster of partly embedded pre-main sequence stars is located around the known LkHalpha 185-189 group of stars, which includes the recently erupting FUor HBC 722.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-02-02T23:04:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "star formation", "halpha emission-line stars", "dense molecular cloud", "partly embedded pre-main sequence stars", "herbig-haro objects" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1051/0004-6361/200912671", "journal": "Astronomy and Astrophysics", "year": 2011, "month": "Apr", "volume": 528 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011A&A...528A.125A", "inspire": 885378 } } }
