| Infrared and Millimetric Study of the Young Outflow Cepheus E (2008) | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| The Cepheus E outflow has been studied in the mid and far infrared using the ISO CAM and LWS instruments, and at millimetric wavelengths using OVRO. In the near and mid-IR, its morphology is similar to that expected for a jet driven outflow, where the leading bow shocks entrain and accelerate the surrounding molecular gas. As expected, fine structure atomic/ionic emission lines arise from the bow shocks, at both the Mach Disk and the stagnation tip, where J-shocks are dominant. | |||||||||||||
