HH jets aligned perpendicular to elephant trunks. (2010). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 46(1), 179-184. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/2010rmxaa..46..179r
Abstract
We consider a system of outflows ejected from low mass young stars embedded in the tips of elephant trunks. We assume that these outflows have axes which are intrinsically perpendicular to the axes of the host elephant trunks. We then derive the distribution function expected for the angle between the projections of the outflow and elephant trunk axes on the plane of the sky. These distribution functions are useful for interpreting the alignments (or lack thereof) observed between HH outflow and elephant trunk axes in photoionized regions.Similar Articles
