2 lines of the molecular gas around the embedded
object IRAS 20050+2027 (figure reffig:bachiller). This is a 260
source located in the Cygnus Rift at 700 pc from the
Sun. The CS data uncover a dense core of size 0.3 pc, and 80
centered on the IRAS object. The CO map reveals a
remarkable molecular outflow consisting of three pairs of lobes
emanating from the close vicinity of the IRAS source. One of the lobe
pairs is a highly-collimated jet of extremely high-velocity emission
(LSR velocities up to
70 km/s) containing molecular ``bullets''.
We briefly examine different possibilities to explain the complex structure of the multipolar outflow. A single outflow appears unable to explain all the CO observations, so we suggest that two or three independent outflows emanate from different young sources embedded within the core.
Figure 5: CO 2--1 channel maps of the IRAS 20050 outflow.
The channels, denoted by EHV1, EHV2, IHV, and SHV, are 50, 25, 10, and
5 km/s wide, and are centered at
=
70, 32.5, 15, and 7.5 km/s, respectively, where
= 6 km/s is the
velocity of the ambient cloud. First contour and step are at 10 K
km/s for the EHV intervals, and 7 K km/s for the SHV and IHV
intervals. Solid contours are for the blue-shifted emission, and
dashed contours for the red-shifted. The origin is at the nominal
position of IRAS 20050. The crosses represent the IRAS sources
IRAS 20050 and IRAS 20049+2721, and the triangle marks the position of a
strong CS emission peak. The axes A, B, C are drawn to illustrate the
multi-lobe structure of the outflow.
