Abstract

The authors carry out an analysis of the condensation structure of the Herbig-Haro objects HH 1, HH 2, HH 47A and HH 7-11 as observed in narrow-band CCD images. These objects show qualitatively very different structures, ranging from the very complex, high contrast condensation structure of HH 2 to the almost complete lack of structure of HH 47A. In order to obtain as much information about the spatial structure of the emission as possible, the authors have tried to deconvolve the seeing profile from the CCD images. Though better results are obtained for the images with higher signal-to-noise ratio, in all cases a relative improvement of the spatial resolution is possible, showing details of the spatial distribution of the emission.
