VLA Detection of a Double Radio Source at the Center of the HH 288 Quadrupolar Outflow. (2003). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 39(2), 107-111. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/2003rmxaa..39..107f

Abstract

We present high angular resolution ( ∼ 0''.3) VLA observations at 3.5 cm toward the region of the quadrupolar outflow HH 288. Previous VLA observations made at low angular resolution ( ∼ 7 arcsec ) had revealed the presence of the source VLA 2, that is associated with the source IRAS 00342+6347. We find that VLA 2 is a double source with an angular separation of ∼ 4 arcsec . The southern component of this double (named VLA 2a) is elongated approximately along the direction of the large north-south outflow in the region. Unfortunately, the other component (VLA 2b) is unresolved and we cannot associate it unambiguously with the small east-west outflow.
