Multiple jets from the young star IRAS 21334 + 5039
The source IRAS 21334 + 5039, a young stellar object (YSO) with broad CO outflow velocity profiles, was imaged in the 1-2 micron region with broad-band J, H, and K filters, and with a Fabry-Perot set to the molecular hydorgen v = 1-0 S(1) line, the hydrogen Br-gamma recombination line, and the neighboring continua. At 2 microns the source has an elongated continuum emission structure centered on the star. The structure has very blue tips, with a weak VLA 6 cm continuum source coincident with one of them. Strong molecular hydrogen emission appears as bow-shaped arcs oriented along an axis perpendicular to the continuum emission, and as a weaker structure aligned with it. Both the continuum and the molecular hydrogen emission are most likely produced by jets, possibly emanating in multiple directions from the central source at large angles to each other. While jets are a common feature of young stars, this source provides solid evidence for multiple jet structures.
