We find that the radio continuum and the H$\\alpha$ emission of both objects show very similar trends, with HH~1 becoming fainter and HH~2 brightening quite considerably (about a factor of 2). We also find that the $F_{\\rm H\\alpha}/F_{ff}$ (H$\\alpha$ to free-free continuum) ratio of HH~1 and 2 has higher values than the ones typically found in planetary nebulae (PNe) which we interpret as an indication that the H$\\alpha$ and free-free emission of HH~1/2 is produced in emitting regions with lower temperatures ($\\sim 2000$~K) than the emission of PNe (with $\\sim 10^4$~K).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-10-25T17:14:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "optical time-evolution", "comparison", "radio continuum", "lower temperatures", "free-free emission" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
