A candidate for the exciting source of the powerful molecular outflow NGC 2264G. (1989). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 17(1), 115-119. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/1989rmxaa..17..115r

Abstract

There is considerable controversy on the identification of the exciting source of the powerful bipolar molecular outflow NGC 2264G, in the Monoceros OB1 molecular cloud. The authors report the detection, made at 20 and 6-cm with the VLA, of radio continuum from an object that they propose as the exciting source of the outflow. The spectral index of this source is 0.7±0.2, consistent with an ionized stellar wind. The authors also detected at that position emission from the (J, K) = (1, 1) transition of ammonia and estimate the mass of the dense gas to be ≡5 Msun.
