Abstract
. New observational evidence is presented which indicates that the infrared emission at X > 3 pm seen in the position of the VLA radio source located between the Herbig-Haro objects 1 and 2, originates in warm circumstellar dust around the central star which is most probably responsible for the excitation of these Herbig-Haro objects. In the present picture, the nearby extended emission dominating at A < 3 pm and which peaks some 9 arc sec NW of the VLA source, is considered to be a combination of tscattered stellar light and emission of shocked ionized gas. The visual extinction, AV, in the direction of the central star is shown to be 23 < Av < 63. The details of the present work will be published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
