Abstract
We have made an unbiased imaging survey of a 1.2 square degree area in the Orion A giant molecular cloud searching for molecular hydrogen emission line features seen in thev= 1-0 S(1) line at a wavelength of 2.12m originating in shocks in outflows from young stellar objects. This survey provides for the first time an unbiased census of outflows over a significant portion of a giant molecular cloud, and yields a sample of outflows free from selection eects and with all objects located at roughly the same, well-known distance. In this paper, we present the data gathered in the course of the survey, provide a comprehensive list of all molecular hydrogen emission features found, and give a list of the 76 candidate outflows identified in the data set.
