Abstract

We present results of multi-wavelength observations of the Orion nebula proplyd LV 2 (M42 167-317), concentrating on our analysis of the microjet that emerges from the proplyd's ionization front. The microjet is one-sided at its base but faint, symmetrical jet filaments are seen on both sides at arcsecond scales. The physical characteristics of the jet (opening angle, density, mass-loss rate, momentum-loss rate, luminosity) are estimated from the observations and compared with those of other irradiated microjets.
